How to Meditate ?

What is meditation ?
Is it only sitting in a particular posture and controlling the mind ? Partly yes. Actually it is the link one creates between oneself and ones creator. But explained in other words it is actually the breakage of ones links with the situation one is presently in, that is, when one gets convinced that one is not this body, mind, intelligence (BMI) but is actually the undying soul.

What is linkage. It is the attraction one has for a particular. Now we are attracted to the outer physical world. It is easily tangible to us through our 5 senses. We do not know our inner self at all. How then can we get attracted to it without getting a taste of it ? How will we even know of its presence. That is where meditation comes into play. It is only the introduction to our inner world which is not only many times more attractive but the very source of the outer world. The inner plunge is taken through the path of meditation by contemplating on the NAME of God. The outer world is a ciaos. The inner world is silence and love. After repeated meditations one gets into a habit of enjoying the inner world of silence. It is NOT a forced act of controlling the mind as is usually thought and taught by many teachers. Can any one like to eat a vegetable one does not like if forced to eat it ?

Our subconscious mind is pressure packed with all the activities of life. When one takes the plunge through meditating on the name of god into this sort of a balloon filled not by air but with thoughts, it is punctured and thoughts come into the conscious mind. It is after the thought reaches that stage do we realize that we are thinking of some thing and we bring our minds to contemplate on the name of god again. This is meditation. Simple. Nothing complicated or difficult and thoughts are bound to come for some time (10-15 minutes). When some pressure is released from the subconscious mind things begin to settle down and the name of god is the predominant thought. That is only part of the goal but some treat it as THE goal to be reached. It is only a practice session to be introduced towards inward peace as opposed to the outer ciaos. Just as one loves the outer worldly things described by their names one starts loving god described by his name. Slowly the attraction towards god during meditation will subsist even in the outer worldly activities. His teachings of non violence, love and helping others will take over your feelings as opposed to these.

The pit falls in meditation are the egoistic feelings one gets as being superior to the non mediators just like the believers have against the non believers. It is no use you only believing (I’ve heard them arguing and hating for the offensive remarks thrown at each other). One should also act in the way god wants. Gods grace should shower on you. And he should reveal himself to you (Salvation). Similarly, it is no use meditating and inflating ones ego. If gods grace is absent one can realize that some thing is wrong because the whole aim of meditation is to eradicate the egoistic BMI and know that god is the only one every where in all things. God is ONE his names could be MANY (Read my other posts to know more) !!!.
