Meditation

Today's is a stressful life. Now why the word stressful? But before answering this question it is necessary to introspect our own self. Why have we become stressful? Who is responsible for this stress? What has caused us to become stressful in spite of robotic technologies being used in day-to-day life?

The answers to these questions not one but many. Type of work has changed, ambitious nature, deadlines, load of work - the list can grow. And after introspecting each answer, one can know that it’s not the end of the tunnel. Each answer is throwing up different reasons. And last but not the least who is responsible for all this, and a simple answer to all this is - I, me and myself. In this cutthroat competitive world all know where to begin, but how many of us know where to stop?

The ambition to achieve more and more, working hours knows no limits. Overtime is the order of the day. Why does one need to work overtime? Many complain of lack of time. In our daily life we use many time saving equipment. Then really how much time is saved by the so-called timesaving equipment?

'Vasudhiava Kutumbakam' is a common word today. It’s possible to travel physically from around the world in a matter of hours, possible to communicate. So 'possible' is the word to mark. Like Dr. Kiran Bedi says. Even poor kids aren't spared from this stress. They have their own problems.

Even their toys have changed from the traditional ones to hi-fi computer gaming. And all this is taking us nowhere, because it is all like a rocking chair, which gives you something to do but actually takes you nowhere. This stress, lack of time does nothing other than disturbing you and your natural mind and body structure.

All of us are proud to be Indians and the Indian culture. Sages and saints here have given us million-dollar 'theva'. Its up to us not only to preserve it but also to draw meaningful conclusions.

Meditation is one of it. It’s a great power to control your fickle mind. It relaxes you, calms you down - and calms you down mentally. Meditation is a force in itself. And it should be only exercised to be experienced. Practicing deep breathing during meditation helps. Deep breathing accompanied by His thoughts is like 'sone pe suhaga'. Because even if one is on a tender bed won't mean he is on the 7th heaven.

Rest of mind is the ultimate goal. Why does one want to earn more? Why does one want security? Why does one want good education? It’s for the peace of your mind. Do you give your piece of mind unto Him, if you want your peace of mind?
