MEDITATION

 

MEDITATION

“The curious mind, which has, so far, identified itself with its conditioning, thoughts, and own conceptions, yearns to transcend itself, to know the truth about the truth, to reach the unreachable. Meditation, is a step to introduce this mind to the truth. During meditation, the meditator strives for maximum awareness.” The snake articulated his words thoughtfully.

“Yes, and this striving is paradoxical too, it comes only after complete relaxation and ‘at easeness’. One should not be, therefore, rigid or conditioned even about approaches to meditation. Continue”, said the Yogi.

“In due course, it perceives many new sensory lights, sounds and smells, which for it, did not exist earlier. These serve as indicators of progress. The mind now knows that there is nothing known as soundless. That in fact, the absence of noise which we call silence, alone leads to anahata, the eternal resonance, vibrating the universal hum. Similarly, that, which we have known as darkness, is actually permeated by lights.”

“Yes, and the winds carry the scents of the Divine, which are now tangible, real. So, meditation, in fact begins to sharpen our senses, and they discover newer dimensions, get hooked on to hitherto unknown frequencies. Continue”, said the Yogi.
