How to be in continuous Meditation
On
Various subjects like spirituality, god, bhakti, meditation, service and satsang have been discussed in the ancient time in India. Nowadays, the people started to show curiosity and respect towards these subjects. Because trouble, dissatisfaction, fear are directly proportional to wealth, prosperity and glory. The people are showing keen interest in spiritually to get rid of these disorders. |
When the people promise to move on pure, whole and pacific path, then they look forward at the meditation. We feel that we should do meditation. But we get derailed due to unavailability of conducive methods. Many a times, we move ahead on improper and wrong paths and lose mental and physical balance by adopting wrong and unauthentic meditation methods cited by hypocrites. We discuss about it in details.
We use the word meditation several times in daily. For example if we forget anything, we say that we had no ‘proper care’. The mother dispatches her son out of station by asking him to look after himself, similarly, the teacher orders his student to keep attention on the blackboard.
It’s matter of discussion that what’s the meaning of all these words? In the first example, it means memory, in the second, it means to take care and in third, it means to concentrate. Now if we want to do meditation of god, we will use that meaning. We will remember the god. It means that we will remember through our thoughts that oh god! What blessings you are showering on me that you have sent me on the earth because I can know you, I can get you, I can grasp your blessings, help, mercy and affection in this body. Oh my father! You are existence of mine, you are the creator of this very planet, sky, air, water and fire.
Therefore, remember the ultimate power due to which the sun and the stars are providing immense energy.
Let’s ponder over its other meaning which is look after. It means protect himself/herself from physical and mental agonies. When we go on the spiritual path, then we start to look after in really. Therefore, we will not do those works which can inflict pain. For example, when we indulge in anger, we lose happiness. Neurons of our minds get heated. Therefore, the minds get vibrated. The blood pressure starts to increase. The breath starts swelling. Then why do we indulge in anger? Whatever the condition is, be calm. Fighting, laziness and jealously create repentance among the people. Do meditation, pranayam, asana and exercise to keep the body healthy.
In the third meaning, concentrate on a particular thing. The question arises that at which point we can meditate? It means that we concentrate whatever work we do, wherever we do. For example if we study, concentrate on it instead of taste of food or time or quantity. If we offer prayer, then concentrate only on it instead of worldly articles, persons, condition etc. If we are talking with relatives or friends, then be present wholeheartedly. Avoid other things arising in the minds.
For this, we have to reform our exercises. When someone asked Bokoju that ‘what do you do after getting enlightenment? When will you do meditation? Let’s make it clear about it.’
Bokoju said, “When I feel rest, I sleep. When I feel hungry, I take food. When I feel thirsty, I drink water. After attaining enlightenment, I practising it."
He said, “Then when do you do meditation? Whatever you said, is a great thing. All the people eat while feeling hungry. All the people go to bed while feeling rest. All the people drink water while feeling thirsty. Then what’s your specialisation? When do you do meditation?”
Bokoju said, “How many people who only eat while taking food, eat in thoughtlessness state, eat while feeling hungry and drink while feeling thirsty?”
Since those whose habit is to postpone the work come under workload. The remaining works remind them. It makes it clear that only closing eye is not meditation. We do meditation while doing any work. Do meditation in sitting position is quite difficult, in contrary, if we concentrate on our work, then it will be helpful in attaining meditation.
Therefore, practising meditation wholeheartedly brings bliss, divinity, peace in the life.
