If there is Bhog i.e. material desire, then there will be the tension of diseases because where there are material desires, diseases will be there. Where there is family or society, a thought of getting defamed always prevails there. A man can’t live freely without any tension in such a society. Every time he is captivated by the thought that if something goes wrong, he will earn a bad name in the society.
He wants to do everything, but without letting it to be known by the society, by hiding it from others. And all this is due to the reason that he is always afraid of others. If he has money, then he remains afraid of his money getting stolen, someone may play a false trick on him or of his money getting reduced from the current amount. And if we stay absolute quite, then this world considers us as a fool. They assume that he doesn’t have any knowledge, he is not aware of the Shastras.
One may also be afraid of being pitied by others and due to this reason, it becomes more painful to remain quite. And if someone is powerful or has a healthy life then he remains afraid of getting weak or sick or if someone more powerful than him can come and beat him, overthrow him from his current status.
And if we look in a bit detail, we will observe that behind every pleasure, there is some sort of sadness associated with it. And where there is sorrow, tensions prevails there, cloud of misery or pain always remain there. Thus if we consider the above fact with open mind, we will accept that pleasure is not a significant thing in life. It is not significant because of the following three facts – please is an illusion, it is today but may not remain tomorrow. Pleasure remains only for a short span of time and the thing that gave us pleasure earlier, it starts giving pain to us.
The wife that we bring after marrying, she is considered to be a source of happiness in life. However, if she is rude and arrogant, then she becomes the cause of sorrow and pain in life. The property that we accumulated, that is a cause of happiness, however a thought always remains in our mind that what if someone steal it and the same property which was a source of happiness for us now becomes source of concern for us. And due to all this happiness is not a significant part in life.
However the experience of eternal joy is itself an important incident of life. It is significant, indescribable and it is amazing. It is something everyone wishes to attain. He wishes to remain free from tensions, he wishes to live a life free of sorrows and pain, he wishes that there should be no disease in his life, no trace of fear or quarrel should come into his life.
And by accumulating things, you can’t attain the eternal joy in life. You can’t buy eternal joy by means of your wealth, you can’t emerge victorious in attaining eternal joy by means of your power and you even can’t achieve eternal joy by your intelligence.
Eternal joy is not a thing which you can attain from outside world, eternal joy is an energy which emerges from your heart. It is like nectar flowing from the heart, an energy flowing from the heart, a situation in which the person forgets this entire world and starts to sink within himself. And such a person attains everything in this life; all that is the essence of life.
A man devotes all his life, his thoughts and his energy to attain happiness, money, fame, fortune etc. and along all this he should be free from all the tensions and troubles in life. He should be free from all the fears and should not face any foes in life.
When our soul is happy, then the eternal joy starts to flow in our life. When our soul is happy then we feel like we are floating in the ocean of joy, we feel life worth living and this feeling, this emotion is called the eternal joy. And if this eternal joy is so important in life, then what is the means to attain it?
As I have told earlier, eternal joy can’t be bought by the means of wealth, you can’t obtain it by means of power. To attain this eternal joy, you will have to let the nectar flow from your heart and then only you will have a tension free life, a life full of joy, a life free of sorrows. And this technique to attain a tension free life is called meditation. Due to this reason only all our Upanishads mentions that meditation is an important part of our life.
Human life is divided into two parts – one is his external world and the other one is within him. A person is more acquainted with this external world, he is familiar with his society, with his wife, sons, neighbours and relatives. However he is completely unaware of his internal world, completely blank…and this is because he never tried to know about his internal world and he never considered it to be an important part of his life. However, the truth is that this internal world holds equivalent significance as compared to this external world.
He is not aware of this fact because no one ever told him about this internal world. Schools and colleges don’t give such knowledge to their students. Teachers can’t provide this knowledge and as his mother-father, relatives or neighbours are unknown to this knowledge, even they can’t give this knowledge to an individual. Thus it is possible that half of his life, that of external world may be fulfilled, he may live a complete life with this respect, however the internal life remains the same. Till the time we don’t live this internal life completely, there can’t be a tension free life, there can’t be a life free of sorrows, there can’t be a life filled with internal joy. To live a joyous life, it is necessary to meditate.
We are as weak and blank about the internal life as we were at the time of birth. The reason for this is that we couldn’t find a Guru in life, no one held our hands, no one told us that we are going on a wrong path, no one kept their hand on our shoulder, no one put his blessed hands on our forehead, no one explained us that this internal life is more significant than the external life, it is of more worth, no one told us. And due to this reason we are running continuously behind those illusions and finally complete our life by moving to the cremation ground.
What is the use of such a life? What is the importance of such a life? This life will definitely end one day. There is no worth of this body after death. Thus to enter into ones internal world is the main aim of this life.
No matter on what stage of life you are right now, whether you are twenty years old or fifty years old, whether you are young or old, whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are good or bad, it is necessary to stop and think for a second that whether we are living only half life or not? Is it that half of our life is completely blank? Is it that we are completely unaware of this other half of life? And if we don’t have this knowledge, then what is the use of living only half of this life?
What will you achieve even if you leave back some money for you sons? What will be the significance of having a healthy body when you will be dying? What will happen if you die after buying four-five buildings? All this is just one part of our life. There is a possibility that we may have obtained some happiness from these things, but all that lasted for a few moments only. However this is not everything and everything can only be obtained by completing second part of our life.
Thus similar to how we keep in touch with others, we are aware of our neighbours, our relatives, we should put conscious efforts to know about our internal world. We should practice the technique to reach within ourselves, the deeper we dive, the more complete we will feel. This is all true by means of a SadGuru only. Only the SadGuru can hold your hand and tell you that meditation is an important part of life.
Meditation means that we should sit with a thoughtless mind at a place at morning or evening or any time of the day. However morning is the best time as the noise is minimum at that time of the day. Now if we try to keep our mind free of any thoughts and slowly close our eyes and feel as if I am going deeper and deeper within. There is a possibility that you may not achieve success in it, it is possible that you may not feel going deep within, but it is not true that nothing is happening. A lot is happening but you are not aware of that.
Your aim, your goal is to just sit silently. You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to think about anything and not even this that whether I am meditating or not. All you need to do is to cut-off yourself from the external world, all you need to do is to sit calmly for two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty five minutes or forty minutes. The more thoughtless, without any movements and keeping your eyes closed you sit, the more you will be able to control your soul. You will not even know that the process of getting inside has started automatically. Slowly and steadily, by your practice after one day, two day, four day, ten days, fifteen days or a month; you will start to feel joy. You will feel that you are getting detached from the external world.
If you practice this for fifteen minutes daily without a break, you will soon find out that you are able to meditate and you will realize this by the fact that where you were initially able to hear voices of others, after a practice of thirty days, you will not be disturbed by these noises. This means that you are able to get detached from this world, you are able to go deeper within you and taste the nectar of eternal joy.
I bless you all that may you be able meditate in your life, may you live your both the lives with completeness, may your life be full of eternal joy and elixir. I bless you all once again from the depth of my heart.
