MEDITATION—A DEEP WELL OF BLISS

MEDITATION—A DEEP WELL OF BLISS

Meditation is a deep well of bliss. Are you aware how many days does it take to dig a well of cool water? Are you aware how deep you have to dig to get the cool water from the earth? May be 50 ft. or more …….If 2-3 men start digging a well by the conventional methods ,it might take at least a month’s time till you reach life giving water. Then ,you will have to cement the well at the ground level, cement it inside up to the entire depth of the well. So, the total process of preparing a complete well may take more than 1.5 months.

But, what happens once the well is complete???Whenever, you feel thirsty……..whenever you need naturally cool drinking water….you can drop a bucket inside the well ,fill it with sweet water & pull it out of the well .You drink this water and instantly quench your thirst.

Similarly, initially it might take 1.5-2 months of regular ,daily practice of at least 20-30 mins. to perfect the practice of Meditation. If you are determined to learn Meditation, you’ll have to do it daily for 20-30 mins. & then you will realize that you have become successful in digging a well of bliss.

And once , this well of bliss is dug,whenever you are unhappy, need Enthusiasm & feel sad , then close your eyes , enter the Meditative level & source of eternal bliss is waiting to explode on you.As a result, as soon as you get up after 20-30 minutes of Meditation, you find yourself full of Enthusiasm ,Joy & Bliss.

YOU CAN MEDITATE

YOU CAN MEDITATE



To learn to Meditate ,the first step is to learn how to sit with your eyes closed without moving your body at all.If your mind is wandering here and there,away from the positive subject chosen by you,then your body will also move a little.You will eighter be scratching your nose or your head or you will be adjusting your legs etc.And,anybody watching you will get to know that you are not focussed.It will also be known that you are not enjoying the act of Meditation.

Suppose two persons are sleeping side by side.Body of one of them is still & not moving at all ,while that of the second one is moving here & there & he is changing the sides throughout,then you would know that he is not having a sound sleep.

Similarly,if two persons are sitting for Meditation side by side & one of them is moving his body again and again,then he is not Meditating properly.

So,the mantra is ,”To calm your mind,first calm your body.If you are successful in calming your body,you can be successful in calming your mind.”Maharishi Patanjali has very rightly told us in Yog Darshan,”STHIRSUKHMASANAM” which means that best posture for Meditation is one in which you can sit comfortably for long hours.

So,to start with,Identify a sitting posture in which you can sit comfortably for at least 15 minutes without moving any part of your body with your eyes closed and soon you would have prepared a ground for lifelong practice of Meditation.
