Meditation is a means of self-purification
What is meditation
The mind becoming thoughtless due to which all the thoughts become silent, the name of deep silence is meditation! Meditation is not an action that can be done, meditation is a process that happens automatically because the seeker does not have to make efforts for it, rather the waves of the mind get absorbed from one level to another like an automatic process!
As soon as we sit with our eyes closed, our mind gets connected to the Creator or becomes thoughtless, see the flow of thoughts coming and going and after that take yourself to a completely calm state!
The extreme state of meditation is Samadhi in which the seeker gets disconnected from this world and gets connected to the Creator: however much time one can enjoy it is less!
When concentration becomes deep, then self purification also happens automatically, the seeker's mind gets away from the flaws and vices and complete Satvikta enters the heart - a pure and sacred heart is the ladder of concentration, without this concentration cannot happen!
But the main point is that concentration should be learnt only under the shelter of an enlightened Sadguru because without the guidance of the Guru, we will not be able to reach those details which give us special benefits!
Our sages and saints found everything by sitting in meditation, they came to know the deep secrets of nature, many scriptures, even the secrets of medical science automatically descended inside them, hence it is a great science and we all must take the help of concentration!
When “meditation” gets connected to God
When meditation gets connected to God, then it attains the best state, because the rays of God, that supreme power start touching us, even an ordinary man becomes extraordinary, divinity starts appearing inside him and he starts moving towards greatness!
Therefore, it is not only essential but mandatory to take recourse to meditation, that too in this age of extreme tension, if you want to find the path of peace, then go into meditation, take out some time from your busy routine for concentration, take refuge in your Sadguru, his support and his grace will transform you from a human being to a great human being.
