Meditative Mind

Taming the Mind-the Path to Accomplishments

Our mind is the most powerful tool. Its proper use can take us to the highest goal in life, which is liberation from existence and attaining oneness with the cosmic consciousness. Many ancient sages, enlightened souls, and ordinary spiritual practitioners have been able to demonstrate the astounding power of the meditative mind - scientific discoveries, material manifestations, astral travel, and the secret knowledge of the universe and ultimately nirvana.

Taming the mind is all about reining the scatterbrain and narrowing down the thought energy into one task, thought, or chant. Any success in the world is dependent on the power to focus on the task at hand, be it the sports field or space experiments. In ancient times, sages used to be able to focus on plants and receive knowledge on the healing properties of each part of the plant. That is how Ayurvedic medicines were discovered.

The enlightened one, the Buddha, left his palace in search of the ultimate truth and freedom from birth. He befriended the sages and learned from them the skill to meditate. After eight years of penance, search, and meditation, he finally attained enlightenment and shared his knowledge with the world.

Mystics from all religions are known to contemplate and reach union with the divine through meditation. The benefits of meditation are not limited to aspirants of higher spiritual consciousness, even ordinary folks can get many benefits in their daily lives. Here are some of the known and scientifically proven ones:

Among the most prominent benefits of meditation for people, especially the students and over-worked people officer-workers, are the stress relief to calm the mind and to be able to increase their focus on their work and studies. That alone should be adequate reasons for setting this daily habit.

But there is an additional reason why you should consider taking up meditation. In the hullabaloo of life, people have time for all the things they want to do except for themselves. Setting aside 5-10 minutes every day to contemplate and connect with your inner self has the biggest reward of anything else you might accomplish. That is the eternal truth that may sink on people very slowly.

So, it is time to give some time to yourself as well.

Best wishes!
