Chapter One

Yogic Meditation and Life

The complexity of the modern world, brought by the hustle and bustle of human life, does not give true peace and tranquility. The world is bounded by stress, pains, miseries, sickness, and death. Old age, diseases, and death never keep a person in peace. Some people regard life as an abode of sufferings. The bitter reality is that one is subject to diseases, pains, death, and decay. The fear of these keeps a person from being happy. In order to escape from these realities, human beings engage in materialism. Too much material accumulation brings stress and pain.

This world is the product of the mind. All the knowledge in the world has been obtained through a concentrated mind. The rays of the mind are spread in various directions. By concentrating them through a glass, higher knowledge is obtained. The infinite universe can be opened through the mind. The mind is a very strong instrument that is revealed and awakened through yogic meditation. The world is always ready to unveil its secret if you know how to use the golden key in order to open the locked door. Yogic meditation has unlimited power. It is more powerful than mental concentration.

By regular practice of yogic meditation, you develop a steady awareness. In deep yogic meditation, you have perfect internal control and vigilance. Yogic meditation is, in fact, a conscious sleep, whereas sleep is an unconscious meditation. During sleep, you have no control over your mind, but in yogic meditation, you are fully aware of all happenings.

A human being is always engaged in pursuit of his or her desire, knowledge, and will. A desire germinates in the mind. Then action is exerted in order to fulfill the desire. The law of action says as you sow, so you reap. Therefore, a person has to bear the fruits of his or her own action, whether it is good or bad. There is no power in the world that can prevent an action from yielding its fruit. A human being has to take birth after birth in order to reap the fruits of his or her own action.

It has been found that in nature, every effect has a cause. The law of action functions under this philosophy of cause and effect. Human beings are responsible for their own actions. A human being remains in the cycle of birth and death until salvation or liberation. This is the major goal of human life on the earth. Just like there is day after night, night after day, there is birth after death and death after birth.

Life on the earth is a battlefield. Human beings have to struggle to survive. It is essential that humans understand the above major objective of life. Research conducted by the author has shown that the silence and peace that human beings are looking for in the outside world are within the human body. Permanent silence and peace enliven the soul.

Through yogic meditation, a person learns the philosophy of righteousness. If a person follows the righteous path, he or she is showered with purity of mind and soul. Remember that you have to perform your actions in such a way that does not bind you. Do your duty for the sake of duty. Never attach to its fruit. This is called a selfless action. Yogic meditation teaches you how to perform a selfless action, which means an action that is performed without attachment to its reward. By constantly practicing yogic meditation, you achieve inner peace and tranquility.

Yogic meditation opens the inner world of enchantments. When the sleeping soul is roused to its full consciousness, the mind ceases to function. The mind no more experiences the charms of the external world. When this happens, a yogic meditator comes to know that the soul is real and the external world is illusory. This illusion occurs because of ignorance. Human beings come to know that attachment to worldly objects or their own body is due to maya. A maya is defined as a mysterious and indescribable power that conceals the real nature of the self. It is by gaining this knowledge through yogic meditation that one is freed from ignorance. In deep yogic meditation the mind stops creating false desires, illusory fears, joys, or sorrows. Thus, when the mind is evaporated from the brain, the infinite manifests.

Yogic meditation as a pathway begins with a self-examination.

The Past

A human being was once an example of perfection devoted to righteous duty and care for everybody. The past is the past. It has gone with a smile.

The Present

A human being does not dwell in the current moment. He or she is always busy looking for new things or worrying about the past or future events.

The Future

A human being keeps on wasting time by building castles in the air or worrying about things that are not yet come about.

Do not spend your precious energy thinking or talking about meditation, but just meditate. Acting now is crucial for success in yogic meditation. The past cannot be brought back. The future cannot be seen now. So in between the past and future is the present. The present will never leave you. Be with the present moment all the time. Here I mean that you should do everything with full consciousness. Do not let your mind wander in the past or future. It is just like the dusk. In between the daylight and night, there is a space. Similarly, in between wakefulness and sleep, there is a space. This space leads you to your inner world. The space can be enlarged by preventing new thoughts from germinating in the mind. In between the two thoughts, there is a space. Nobody can accompany you in this pathway. Your only guide is your inner being. You do not need an external guide. The self is the master of your body. In this book, you are given valuable guidelines for yogic meditation. Yogic meditation gives you the power to open your inner world of wisdom, which is the abode of everlasting peace and calmness.

Your Window to Silence and Peace unveils the gems of wisdom that exist within every human being. This book gives the reader the necessary knowledge for unlocking the concealed doors of the soul, which contains the divine nectar of peace and...
