Meditation is not only for monks or sanyasins. It
is also especially designed for people
who live a normal human life, and who struggle with its realities. It
will give strength and energy, and can be used to gain answers and
solutions for the problems that face us during our life.
We can attain the peace of our most
inner Self by preventing the chaos of the mind. What we gain from
meditation is clarity of mind, focus, steadiness, peace and harmony.
Our thoughts sway here and there. The demands of today create
pressures and disharmony. The result is hectic en restless mind. We
identify with this restless mind. But our essence, our Self, is
quiet and peaceful. The solution is to stay in our centre. The
stress and tension will vanish. The practice of yoga will take our
mind to the calmness at centre of the Self. Like the bird soaring
through the sky. Aiming towards the right landing in the centre of
its attention. The practice directs our awareness towards the centre
of our being. Doubt, inertia and sickness are the obstacles to our
search for peace and harmony. Despair and stress lead to pain and
irregular breathing. The reward of yoga is the dissolution of pain
and doubt. It gives clarity of mind. Internal steadiness; Self
awareness and focus; Happiness; And a strong and healthy
body.
