Life as it is.....EPISODE 9 : MEDITATION

People meditate. Meditation is a process. A process of being mindful of every little act performed consciously. To harness the after effect of mindfulness we need to find a quiet and clean spot, preferably close to nature such as mountains, by the river, trees or lakes. Nowadays, it is not that easy to find a quiet and clean spot, so one’s own private room charged with good aroma and aura can be used too. There we should sit and contemplate on every act of mindfulness performed during the day. As we consciously move our thoughts from one act to another, a profound and pristine feeling would arise. Of course, this need to be done on regular basis, at the same time everyday, wherever one goes to. So, if we take time to ponder over the actual meaning of meditation especially for the lay man, we will come to grasp that it is not merely sitting in a rigid pose by closing one's eyes and remain motionless for hours. Meditation, as mentioned earlier, is a process of consciously monitoring our actions and subsequently the thoughts. Assiduously practiced over many months, can guarantee one the pleasant effect of meditation. Like the leaves that fall during autumn, our mental agitations too will slowly give way as our meditation gets better and better. Once we realize the real purpose of meditation and its benefits we will realize that meditation is a continuous process of establishing oneness with nature. And, at the end of each mindful day we sit and contemplate to stream the energy of meditation. If correctly practice, we will see the harvest immediately. Happy meditation.
