| Meditation means total cessation of all the restless waves of the mind. Man is hampered basically by the restless nature of the mind. The mind by nature is restless. The restless waves of the mind result in unwanted dissipation of the energy of the soul. When the soul energy thus gets dissipated, the physical body becomes depleted of essential energy and becomes vulnerable and susceptible to attacks from various external sources such as germs and parasites..etc., resulting in various diseases, early aging ..etc.,etc,.. |
| Ability to focus effectively on the present and being able to concentrate on the current issues is deeply hampered by the existence of the restless waves of the mind. The power of memory becomes impaired. The more the intensity of the restless waves of the mind, the more the ineffectiveness of the person to attend to the work on hand. |
| Meditation is the most direct way of cultivation of the restless waves of the mind ! In meditation the mind has to become concentrated and one pointed making use of the natural breath. The mind has to become focused ... using the natural breath. |
| Meditation means closing the eyes and being with the breath for a long, long time. Tremendous patience is required. Whatever may be the turbulence in the mind, eyes should never be opened. Attention of the mind should be constantly be brought back on to the breath. The mind wanders... but it should be collected and brought back... to... the... breath. |
| In the beginning stages of meditation, the rather restless waves of the mind...become more or less restful. When meditation is continued with steadfastness and utter sincerity, a deep restful state of mind is attained ... and all the restless waves of the mind totally cease ! |
| As we are earnest in the practice of this process, a remarkable thing happens ! The mind becomes rather serene and restful ! The intensity of the restless waves of the mind decreases significantly ! A calm, peaceful and tranquil mind is established ! As more and more time is spent in that calmness, in that tranquility ... a most beautiful thing now happens ! The mind becomes absolutely empty... sans any thoughts ! |
