Feed your Soul, MEDITATE

Lately, with routine meditation, I've realized how much the "difficult times" are important in our lives. If we don't have sadness, we'll never pray. Sadness makes us realize life is not perfect, and neither can it be perfected by us. There's always some bigger power working silently, behind everything happening to us. It's mysterious in its own way. Call it God or Call it fate, it's up to you. So, every time we don't get what we want, we pray. Last time i was contemplating i realized, how very few people pray to God asking for forgiveness without actually committing any sin, another small number pray to him thanking him for what he has given even though the person praying doesn't even get one meal a day, and a very few pray to him because they believe he's the only TRUTH. With meditation you'll realize so many things, reason for your existence, why you laugh, why you cry, and the “virtual essence” of the real world. And with time you'll reach a stage when you will be able to see things/happenings superficially, and not get affected by the sadness/happiness factor attached to it. No, I'm not talking about death. It's experienced only if you trust, have faith in him. Advanced stages may also help you realize the hidden potentials in you, like some write poetry, draw sketches, make music etc after meditating. Meditation will straighten up the tangled thoughts.

Meditation is not the path to god, it is God. Meditation is like the food for your soul. A beautiful exemplary would be a baby, he laughs and smiles a lot although we all know he doesn’t understand a thing, neither  does he speak. Practically, he has no thoughts, yet is happy. He thoroughly enjoys the purity. But as he grows, he is made to realize "his" parents, "his" room, "his" toys; this possessiveness eventually kills the innocence. We all were babies once, with time we forget the "Speechlessness" we enjoyed in our baby-hood. Our soul cries for that silence, thoughtlessness, emptiness. Meditation helps us rejuvenate our souls and we are filled with energy. I'll talk about ways to meditate in some other post, as for now, if you really want to try meditation as a beginner, lie straight on the bed or sit in the most relaxed position and SEE the thoughts in your mind. Act as a monitor, watching and minding the thoughts. You'll be surprised to discern that how if even for 1second you stop noticing your mind, the mind starts to coagulate thoughts again. You can sit for 10-20 minutes daily in the beginning and keep augmenting the time, with time.
