MEDITATION Man has realised long ago that the purpose of life is not to live like animals with basic instincts but to evolve to higher order i.e. from untruth to truth, ignorance to knowledge and death to eternity. Being a part of Universal life, he has realised that unless he dissolves his individual being in THE Universal Being, eternity could not be attained. In other words he should cease to be a part by becoming the whole. Therefore he has evolved a process which in the oriental language has been called as YOGA (Union).

WHAT IS YOGA :

The word Yoga in the language of Orient means "to join, fusion, to bring together two things, to bridge the gap between the two". In spiritual sense yoga is to dissolve individual being into the Universal Being. In other words it is to fuse individual consciousness with the Universal consciousness. Thus Yoga is a state to be attained in which individuality of a being is shed in favour of the Universal being. But unfortunately, the word YOGA has been mis propagated in the recent time as Yogasanas i.e. Yogic postures or exercises. Virtually the word YOGA has become synonymous with Yogasanas and people are being misled. In fact Yogasanas or postures are refined physical exercises which are very helpful in not only improving the health but also preparing the body to suit higher spiritual practices like meditation for attaining the state of YOGA. Therefore the word Yoga should not be mistaken for Yogasanas.

In order to attain the state of Yoga (Universal life) Man has evolved several means. Among them meditation is the only one which dissolves the mind, which is the separating wall between individual being and the Universal being.

Human mind is the one which causes the gap between Individual consciousness and Universal consciousness. Mind shapes the very nature of an individual mentally and physically. The conscious mind is the surface layer of the mind which is in constant action except during sleep. The subconscious and unconscious layers of mind of which one is not aware, is the storehouse of accumulated Karma (Sum of good and bad actions and reactions of past) of innumerable births.

Meditation is a process which purifies the mind of its accumulated Karma and thereby making it transparent enough to imbibe and reflect the nature of Universal Being resulting in the state of YOGA. Thus the difference between individual being and Universal being ceases just as a wave in the sea receding and ceasing into the sea. The individual being projected through mind ceases in the Universal being losing its individuality eternally.

Since meditation removes the barrier between the individual and Universal being, it is considered as the Supreme and final path for spiritual evolution of man.

In recent time Scientific studies made on meditation process has revealed its tremendous theraputic value in improving mental,Physical and social health of an individual. Therefore, not only there is resurgence in the practice of meditation but also universal acceptence of the same.

WHAT IS MEDITATION ?

The very meaning of meditation provides the true definition for meditation. The word meditation means, "to think deeply and constantly". When ever the attention of our mind is focussed on a chosen object, concept or a thought then we are in meditation. Even worrying deeply and constantly on a problem amounts to meditation, ofcourse resulting in bad effects. Thus meditation is simply nothing but deep and constant thinking on an object, concept or a specific thought.

In spiritual meditation deep and constant thinking is made on the UNIVERSAL BEING. Hence, the process of meditation is always associated with spiritual evolution of man. Although the goal of meditation is to realise the UNIVERSAL BEING, PEACE and TRANQUILITY are the immediate bye products of meditation. Therefore, meditation can be practiced by one and all i.e., by a child of 10 years to a person of 90 years. Meditation is an Universal means for realisation of Peace and Fulfillment in Life. Meditation can be the last hope of desperate and dejected souls as well. The Universal application of meditation makes it UNIVERSAL MEDITATION

In the end, meditation is a dissolution process. It is dissolving one self into the Univeral Conciousness(Being). It is quite opposite to lesser spirutial practices lke mysticism or attainment of powers(siddhis), where one defies the laws of nature for satisfying one's ego or please the public and inturn getting into Karma. Meditation does not interfere with the operation of law of karma but definitely smoothens the harshness of its operation in our day-to-day life.
