Meditation to strengthen the mind
Overreaction to words and jumping to conclusions are weakness of the mind. The vrittis, the thought waves, must be restrained, not only during meditation, but at all times.
One must be particularly wary of praise, for this too is verbal delusion and the ego is ever ready to pounce on any opportunity to see itself as better or different from others.
Meditation allows us to live in harmony in society. Meditation is a time tested tool that helps to calm down the mind.
Having an uplifting object of concentration for a span of time strengthens the mind.
During the exercise of meditation, for all beginners, time and again, the mind will wander. Bringing it back to the focus point and object builds a positive habit.
This exercise should be taken outside the yoga mat into daily life.
Throughout the day, by putting full interest in any act, from the smallest tasks to the largest ones, we enhance our concentration span.
Topping it up with the right attitude, every task carried in our life becomes aligned with the universe.
Without the help of meditation, you cannot attain Knowledge of the Self.
Without its aid, you cannot grow into the divine state.
Without it, you cannot liberate yourself from the trammels of the mind and attain immortality.
Meditation is the only royal road to the attainment of freedom. It is a mysterious ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to truth, from darkness to light, from pain to bliss, from restlessness to abiding peace, from ignorance to knowledge. From mortality to immortality.
