Is there any benefit to meditating on a crucifix rather than on an empty cross?
Accepted Answer
There is benefit from meditating on any sacred image, provided we penetrate into the divine depths of these symbols rather than fixating on the physical forms.
"If thou canst not make thine own self what thou desireth, how shalt thou be able to fashion another to thine own liking. We are ready to see others made perfect, and yet we do not amend our own shortcomings."
