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.
