♦ Meditation – Root of Happiness ♦

First of all, I pray Almighty to give me strength and to make my pen powerful to throw light on the Subject captioned, above and to make the concept of meditation as simple and interesting as it should be, without the blessings of Guru so I genuflect at his feet with folded hands to keep his hand on my head to make me successful. I can do what is supposed to be impossible. Blessings are the fruit of meditation. In order to maintain inner peace, calm, stability and smile on face regardless of external circumstances—tension, worry, poverty, health problem, ego etc, we need a daily practice of meditation.

As soon as the spirit of egoism prevails among people, then the bonds of the social order break and man, by seeking his own personal happiness, veritably tumbles out of the heaven and falls into hell. Meditation is the best medication for all agitations. Now—a—days people are bound to take pills; Allopathic or Homoeopathic; Ayurvedic to get relief, just to forget certain things, people go to movies or drink even alcohol to get pleasures, to enjoy life despite knowing that the steps taken are totally temporary and they are enough to spoil the future. They are like first—aid bandages to a wound that runs deep beneath the surface.

Meditation has the delitescent power. Meditation is the only way to calm the mind, fill the heart with joy, and bring peace to the soul. It is not a pill whose effect quickly wears off and carries an unpleasant side effect. It brings people in contact with God. It changes the very nature of your being. Spirituality develops automatically. It is like a bank, if you deposit money—it is not only safe but you get interest forever.

The path of meditation is full of thorns because self – control is the key to unlock the lock of the meditation. Negative forces become very active when you sit in meditation. You feel it is an onerous task to concentrate the mind. It is possible only when your Guru/Guide wishes. His/Her blessings will keep the negative forces away and with God’s grace you will realise the infinite joy and boundless peace that comes from God and through union with your own divine nature.

As you go away from your loved ones, you become eager to talk, likewise it is the same with God. We are one with HIM. He is inside us. Until we realise this oneness, we feel separate and it is quite natural. If the feeling of separateness is there, we need meditation. Meditation is the time to reconnect with Him, delving deep into the inner core of our beings, merging and melting into the divine ocean of bliss.

All most all beloved Gurus have suggested a very simple and easy method to meditate the mind. Even in our holy book ‘Geeta’, a very simple suggestion has been given to meditate the mind—i.e., the tip of the nose, sitting straight, alone. Or just above the junction of two eyes above nose in forehead, surrender yourself at the feet of God. Self – realisation shows the path.

You will become yourself a torch bearer of peace, spreading the light of serenity, love brotherhood and a guide for the younger generation to follow the right path if you practise meditation from the core of your heart. You can make this earth—a Heaven. We can add a feather in the crown of our Guru by doing meditation, by protecting the young generation from being spoiled and by making this earth a Heaven—full of saintly fragrance, happiness, etc. Every – where, in every house, in every family.

Our rishis, saints, gurus are the source of happiness, enlightenment. We exhale first, then inhale. As a small seed had the rudiment of an enormous banyan tree, the chanting of the word ‘‘Om’’ has the same power to connect with God through meditation. Without sowing seed, we can not expect fruit. Doing meditation is the seed, salvation is the fruit. Even the NASA had proved that the sound coming out from the sun is “Om”.

Good things are always difficult to follow, All the Gurus like swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, Sri Ram Sharma Acharya, Sri Thakur AnuKul Chandra, Sri Guru Nanak Ji have shown the right path to be one with God and that is meditation.

A bird flies high in the sky with no support. Whoever gains knowledge about the concept of wings can enjoy the truest freedom and rise high with no support.

Who has ever got knowledge by falling prey to a lifeless stone? The point of the matter is that you only get an artistic idol. When we hope and keep faith in wrong things, then the gain of knowledge can not be called a gain in the truest sense. Even when water is vaporised into steam, it still does not lose its fluid. It is extremely important to understand such a God of substance who does not separate himself from us even after death.

Ego is the veil that serves to cover the truth. Where there is ego, there the truth can never be apparent. We need to make this veil of self – importance more and more transparent, and that is the true meaning of meditation. The flowers and their thorns do not grow separately, they grow together as a unit yet, they never complain about any partial behaviour by the ground. Meditation makes a man good, – a good Hindu, a good Muslim, a good Sikh, a good Christian etc, whatever we are. One can feel or see God when there is neither love nor hatred in one’s heart.
