Right Meditation produces Wisdom in the Soul

“O Saahasi Yatri Sadaa Prasanna Rehna… Kamdev ki Kanafusi se Matt Darna”

O Courageous one, the one to take this journey, always remain joyful… Never succumb to the fear of the past.

Our mind is never in the present. It is always swaying between the past and the future. We’re constantly reacting to external influences. Any incident takes us to the past , to the memory that holds within the experiences and information that we’ve gathered through the years. From the past, the thought is then projected into the future. We’re never in the present moment, so when do we live? Our waking hours are constantly crowded with thoughts and these thoughts are then projected as dreams in our sleep. 

“Sapne sone nahi dete vichaar jagne nahi dete.”

“Dreams don’t let us sleep and thoughts don’t let us wake up.” The brain is occupied with thoughts during the day and in the night. Thoughts and dreams are a powerful resource only if we know how to transform it into prudence and vision.This brain can never be in a state of rest, can never be still. The brain struggles to put things into order at night during sleep but utterly fails and that is the reason we wake up unfresh. Such a brain can only create problems and problems pile up to make the life a struggle. 

There must be a quiet mind, an undisturbed mind to understand anything, especially something we do not know, something that the mind cannot fathom. To understand any intricate problem of life and relationship, in fact, any problem, there must be a quiet depth to the mind. 

Paramaalayji has formulated various techniques which help us first become aware of thoughts and then start watching the space in between the thoughts. Once we learn to catch the space, even if it is for a second initially, once we know the bliss that’s hidden in the space, we slowly start to build on the spaces between thoughts.

The ultimate goal is to reach a situation of no thought and only space. Such a mind is a meditative mind, such a mind is a mind for which no problem exists.Once this situation is achieved during the waking hours, the sleep is deep and devoid of dreams. This is when sleep turns into meditation.

Meditation is the shift from doing to being.

When one is not doing anything at all, physically, mentally- when all activity has ceased and you simply are, just being, that’s what meditation is. You cannot do meditation, you cannot practice it, you have only to understand it. When all doing is dropped, whether it be thinking, contemplating and concentrating and you’re just at your center, utterly relaxed, that is meditation. Slowly one learns to remain in that state twenty four hours a day.Once we become aware of the way our being can remain undisturbed, then slowly one can start doing things always keeping alert that the being is not stirred. Then one learns to be in a state of meditation throughout the day through all activities. Now, life can be lived more intensely, with more joy, more clarity, more vision, more creativity- yet one is aloof, just a witness, simply watching all that is happening.
