Why Mediate?
I meditate in order to find myself, a brief
moment alone and apart, far from the maddening crowd’s dishonorable bitterness,
that I may not get lost in the crowd, that I may call my own.
I meditate in order to find rest from life
tiredness and fret, so that my soul can catch its breath and restore its
scattered strength.
I meditate in order to find peace from the
violent confusion and the bitterness from the tensions and the turmoil of
coping with life’s tasks and challenges.
I dedicate in order to see life steadily and
see it whole; so that whatever I experience I can absorb and relate to my vision
of life and place n proper perspective.
I meditate so that my surface life and my
interior life be not in conflict with one another; but are mutually reinforced
an brought into harmony and oneness.
I mediate in ordered to discover the depths
of my being, discover and release the forces hidden there the reserves of
strength and endurance, the powers of self-recovery and self healing, that wait
upon my quietness human , aware of the “I” in me, aware of the ‘me’ in other
people , aware of other people in me, none, of us an island, but all part of
the main.
I mediate to grasp bettered the meaning of
human existence and my own purpose upon this earth, so that I can find the
hidden treasure of life and be sustained by it.
I mediate to sift better the wheat from the
chaff in the values of my society, so that I can adhere to the essential and
gladly let the trivial go free.
I meditate in order to grow in understand of
my relationship to God, and His relationship to me, so that I can express this relationship
in my daily life, be sustained by my awareness of its existence, and guided by
the compass it provides so that I live in Him and He in me, that I may begin a relationship
now that will be forever and ever in world without end. Courtesy: Wake Up India
Quote from the True Charm and Power of
Vedanta
The Goal and the Way
If we think calmly for a while, we find that
all the scriptures speak in the same strain and of the same goal. True, they
teach the same truth; yet this appeals to people when put in different ways. We
shall discuss some scriptural teaching about the goal and the means to it. It is
a trite saying; As am man sows , so does he reap . Scriptures too say that as a
man thinks, so does he become. Success depends upon exertion. There is an invariable
connection of cause and effect between right exertion and success.
Religion is hardly a matters of lecturing
learning , or teaching . it is a thing to be experienced. Thee may be many ways
of spiritual practice according to temperamental different of aspirants. This is
why there have been so may sects in the domain of religion. If we analyses all
the sects of our country , we can divide them under four heads, viz Janani,
karmi, Bhakta, and Yogi. Those who avoid sense-objects and hankerings after
them and remain content in the Self alone, take to the path of knowledge (jnana)
those who, being in the midst of worldly object and activities, find themselves
very limited in resource and take refuge in the Almighty God are known as
Bhaktas (devotees) Those who work in the right sprit are Karmis (selfless workers)
?there is another calls fo men who try to uproot the seeds of desires by
looking into the very depths of their mind through concentration. They are
called yogis. Courtesy Religion and its Practice
But, if He
exists?
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes
rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive
4m.
