Logic Of Meditation-Part II

Add as a preferred source on Google

The flow of thoughts is ceaseless. Obviously, before the mind can be made to put forth itself and concentrate on anything, it must be cultivated. In meditation the mind is made to withdraw its attention from all the sense-objects. The intellect, asserting its mastery over the mind, orders it to stop all thoughts except the thought of the common denominator. By assiduous practice the mind learns to think of only one thing at a time. Such a mind would indeed be a force to be reckoned with; nay, it would be invincible. Having become conscious of its true nature, such a mind would not be disturbed either by passing sorrows or ephemeral joys of the world.

Prosperity cannot spoil it, nor can adversity degrade it. Just as scientific discovery of indestructibility of matter and energy gives new meaning to objects which are but a combination of both, realisation of the Sat-Chit-Ananda by mind-intellect equipment, through meditation, would give a new edge to life, and all the passing shows of the world appear in their stark nakedness, stripped of their power to delude. All curtains would lift penetrating gaze of a mind thus established in pure consciousness through regular meditation. Shorn of all complexes, it will no more be assailed by doubts and fears.

Even from the worldly point of view, what more is needed to justify meditation? The proof of the pudding is in its eating. Start meditation from now onwards, and soon the incomparable experience of the gifts it showers on you will obviate mere logic.

Be regular, Be sincere, Be sincere. Be pure. Meditation can never fail. It will ever be a success. Failures in meditation bring greater gains than success in life. Meditate-Meditate-Meditate-and Meditate. Sincerity and regularity are the secrets of success in meditation. Contact with the guru and constant study of the scriptures are factors that guarantee total success. Before entering into the state of meditation, it is necessary that we pray to the Lord. Such a prayer makes the meditator well prepared for success.
