Meditation is a word which one comes across with people who are following spirituality or in such gatherings. I have conducted many sessions of Meditation to my colleagues and friends. The most common question that arises in everyone’s mind is why to mediate and what is meditation is all about?
What I am going to bring out is my experience which may have been experienced by many who are reading this. The explanation of these questions would also be known to you. Still, I would like to take you to walk along with me in this experience.
We are the souls enclosed in a body and it has a mind. The knowledge comes through our senses, intellect and intuitiveness. The knowledge of senses are as perceived through our sense organs by the way of touch, visual, hearing, taste and smell. Intellect is gained through our life experiences and reading books. There is an intelligence present in every cell of our body. Intuitiveness is what is most powerful to guide us through this life rightly. Over years of our life, intuitive capacity has been masked due to clutters of former two knowledge.
Meditation is a way to calm done our thoughts to activate our intuitiveness. It helps to silence our mind to tune it with our consciousness to open up to His grace. We have found great saints and sages spend most of their time into meditation. There is a greater sense of peace and joy which cannot be experienced else where. Meditation takes you to that heavenly world within you to experience this.
Meditation is a technique which would certainly require guidance of an able teacher or a Master to follow. Many who practice on their own wouldn’t have gained significant progress even after months of practice.
Meditation helps you in your inner transformation. Life is better guided with your intuitive power. Every meditation energies you, which you carry it wherever you go. Certainly, you would have found people around acknowledging that change they see in you. When you step into knowing life style of successful people, mediation is been part of their morning rituals.
That reminds of me of a famous question posed to Gautama Buddha by one of his disciple, what did you gain by meditation. He humbly said, I did not gain anything through meditation. But, I lost many things like anger, guilt, fear and so on…
So, should I meditate? If that is the question arising in your mind. I would say, just begin now, as tomorrow never comes.
