                     HOW TO PRACTICE THE MEDIATION REGULARLY

                                                                      💫💫💫

                             ONE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUTER WORLD BUT CAN BE DISSATISFIED FROM INSIDE. IF ONE ACHIEVES WHAT ONE EXPECTS THEN ONE FEELS SATISFIED. THE UNFULLFILLED EXPECTATIONS LEAD TO DISSATISFACTION. ACCORDING TO RYAN REYNOLDS, "WHEN YOU HAVE EXPECTATIONS, YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR DISSAPOINTMENT.

               IN MEDITATION, EXPECTING NOTHING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

                      LIKEWISE, BEGINNERS TOO ARE IN A HURRY TO GET SUCCESS IN MEDITATION. A MISTAKE THAT ONE SHOULD ESCAPE FROM COMMITTING. SWAMI VISHNUDEVANANDA SAIS, "MEDITATION DOES NOT COME EASILY. A BEAUTIFUL TREES GROWS SLOWLY. ONE MUST WAIT FOR THE BLOSSOM, THE RIPENING OF THE FRUIT AND THE ULTIMATE TASTE. THE BLOSSOM OF MEDITATION IS AN EXPRESSIBLE PEACE THAT PERMEATES THE ENTIRE BEINGS, ITS FRUIT... IS INDESCRIBABLE".

                    TRYING TO CONTROL ONE'S MIND IS PRACTICE AND DOING IT REPEATEDLY IS REGULARITY. REGULARITY SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BY DOING MEDITATION DAILY. IT SHOULD BE DONE AT THE SAME PLACE AND SAME TIME. IRREGULARITY IN MEDITATION DOESN'T GIVE GOOD RESULTS SO NOT A SINGLE DAY SHOULD BE SKIPPED. DOING MEDITATION FOR 2-3 DAYS AND MISSING IT FOR NEXT TWO DAYS WILL NOT GIVE PROGRESS IN MEDITATION. EVERY DAY ONE SHOULD MEDITATE WITH OR WITHOUT SUCCESS. PRACTICE SHOULD BE DONE REGULARLY ONLY THEN ONE WILL BE ABLE TO PROCEED FURTHER ON MEDITATION PATH.

                      THE PRACTICE AND PERSISTENCE EVEN A STUPID CAN BECOME INTELLIGENT JUST LIKE UP AND DOWN MOTIONS OF SOFT ROPE ON HARD STONE MAKES A MARK. SOFT ROPES WERE USED FOR DRAWING OUT WATER FROM THE WELLS. THE REPEATED MOTIONS OF EVEN SOFT ROPES CREATED IMPRESSIONS ON THE STONE OF RIM OF WELL.

                         THE SAME IS WITH THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICE. ONE SHOULD MOVE CONTINUOUSLY STEP BY STEP WITH SLOW PACE TOWARDS THE GOAL. WITH REGULARITY, PATIENCE, DETERMINATION, MOTIVATION, DEDICATION AND CAPACITY TO FIGHT ALL ODDS COMING IN THE PATH ONE CAN ACHIEVE SUCCESS ON SPIRITUAL PATH.

                              IN SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA, SRI KRISHNA SAYS, "O BRAVE ARJUNA, UNDOUBTEDLY THIS MIND IS VERY FICKLE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL! BUT IT CAN BE CONTROLLED BY PRACTICE AND NON-ATTACHMENT FROM SENSUOUS OBJECTS". CONCENTRATE THE MIND ON A GOAL. IF MIND IS DIVERTED FROM THE GOAL THEN IGNORE ALL OTHER POINTS OF DISTRACTION BY CONSIDERNG THEM BASELESS AND POINTLESS. THIS WILL BRING THE MIND BACK ON THE DESIRED GOAL.

                          WE ARE LIVING IN THE CITIES WHERE THOUSANDS OF SENSUOUS OBJECTS POP UP EVERY DAY TO STIMULATE OUR SENSES. MIND IS DISTRACTED WITH THESE EXTERNAL STIMULI. CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE IN HABITS AND ATTITUDE SUCH THAT MIND DOESN'T FIGHT BACK. SLOW AND GRADUAL TRANSFORMATIONS SHOULD BE MADE SO THAT THEY DON'T GIVE A CHANCE TO THE MIND TO APPLY REVERSE GEAR.

                    * DOING WORK IN KITCHEN WITH MODERN ELECTRIC GADGETS DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY PHYSICAL WORK. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED ON EXERCISE. REGULAR MORNING OR EVENING WORK ARE CONSIDERED EXERCISES".
