Why to Meditate

           In today's world almost every body is going thorough physical or mental stress, why? Because we made ourselves slave of endless desires and uncontrolled emotions such as hatred, jealousy, anger etc. and this restricts us to think what best we can do in our uncertain & limited life span.  All these start from the day of birth and a person remains involved through out his life.  Every body in this world has expectations from others e.g. parents from children, children from exam., wife from husband, husband from wife, businessman from business, serviceman from job and so on…..            

                 Whenever our expectations are not fulfilled it causes frustration, depression and agony.  We usually choose to go to different places for entertainment to relieve ourselves from these stresses temporarily.  So it is essential for us to develop something special that can save us from these stresses and give us not just a temporary relief but a permanent satisfaction and peace in the deepest of our soul which enable us to lead a blissful and tension free life and we can attain it through Meditation only.                        

                 Soul in the body is infinite and without end though the body has its beginning and end. The soul is the energy, which causes all our thoughts and body action and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat or cold although it lends its light to everything.

           It is a matter of great surprise that we pray and make every possible effort for the peace of soul of a dead person, but while doing all this it does not come to our mind that while alive we should make efforts for getting peace for ourselves and others.  We acknowledge the soul as our body till it remains inside the body and when it separates or leaves the body then we acknowledge it as a soul and at this point the body has no meaning to us and we destroy the body, so we should make sincere efforts to attain the peace during our life time i.e. when we are alive.

           To attain peace so many people go to different religious places or read religious books or perform ritual as they think that this is the only medium of getting peace.  By this way we can get peace but it should be in a very pure manner (without any expectation) and with full faith.  Some people worship due to fear because they do not want that something evil or adverse could harm them.  They pray God because they believe that if they do not do so they will have to face problems and difficulties and even though if something wrong or evil happen to them they do not even spare God and start cursing him because they do not analyze themselves and leave everything to the disposal of God and held him responsible for everything which is not up to their expectations.  

           We should love or pray God like a honest lover who loves his/her beloved without any fear and expectation of reward

          We are trying to improve and amend people and things around us but We are still not trying to throw away evil of negative thoughts which is deeply rooted inside us.  If we throw away evil of our negative thoughts, things and people around us will automatically improve.  

            Everybody who is willing to get peace or like to attain perfection in materialistic world or  having any type of physical or psychological problem can start meditation and he/she will feel himself or herself change in his or her life. 

          Meditation does not mean renunciation of our desires but it guides us that while enjoying this beautiful world, we must not become slave of our desires.    An important thing while practicing meditation one must avoid the two extremes-high luxuries and great simplicity because we have the our own world which includes our family our needs, our friends and many other people around us and it is not advisable to give up all or involve extra ordinarily in all.  We should maintain balance between all these to enjoy happy and the relaxed life.  When a person is able to do this he will never be unhappy in his life.
