The power of meditation

The power of meditation

The power of meditation By Dr Nitin Sharma and Dr Preet Sharma 

Meditation and concentration are the royal  roads to perfection. Concentration leads to  

meditation and enables man to be steadfast in his material pursuit. Whereas, meditation  

leads to the attainment of salvation or moksha.   Meditation annihilates the three kinds of taapas  (fevers) and five kleshaas (sorrows). It is an  aeroplane that helps the aspirant to soar high  in the realms of eternal bliss and everlasting  peace. It is a mysterious ladder that connects  

earth and heaven and takes the aspirant to the  immortal abode of Brahman. 

Practise meditation early in the morning  from four to six in the Brahma muhurta—  the optimum time to meditate. Sit in padma,  siddha, or sukha asana. Keep your head, neck,  and spine straight and concentrate either on  trikuti (the space between the eyebrows) or on  your heart, with eyes closed. Meditate on Om.  This is known as nirguna dhyana. (meditating  on formlessness). If you meditate for one or  two hours in the Brahma muhurta, you will  work peacefully throughout the day without  any mental disturbance. Meditation develops  strong and pure thoughts, brings greater  clarity to your visualisation, and helps lower  stress levels. 

Meditation is maintaining the flow of God  consciousness. All worldly thoughts are shut  out from the mind as it is saturated with the  presence of the Divine. It is the only way to attain  immortality and eternal bliss. Great rishis and  sages of yore like Yajnavalkya and Uddalaka  acquired the knowledge of the Self, which is a means to secure the highest communion  through intense meditation. Regular meditation  opens the avenues of increasing one’s intuition,  calming and steadying the mind, and feeling  ecstasy. Without the help of meditation, you  cannot attain knowledge of the Self and attain  your Highest Self. The mind has to be trained  regularly to shift it from the gross plane to a  subtle or sukshma plane.
