Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Meditation is the process of stilling /slowing the mind which is like a restless monekey, so as to be able to make contact with the divinity that is present within each individual incarnation. At some point this process becomes one with the individual doing the process. All the rest including Paths, Gurus, Devotion, Knowledge techniques, mantras, yantras, are tools used in this process. Each set of tools work in different ways, appropriate to the temperament needs. Individuals are attracted to tools according to their temperament, which is part and parcel of the karmic baggage manifesting in the current ego. This baggage of samskaras, and vasanas (attitudes, beliefs and desires) expresses itself through the mind, where thoughts, like a restless monkey, flits around distracting, preoccupying and disallowing it to quieten enough to contact the subtle energies of the divine presence. The mind is what stands in the way of making the ultimate contact. _/\_ Tat twam asi Uma , tantra_rag <no_reply> wrote: > > , "udaykumar S.K." <udaykumar001> > wrote: .. What is Meditation??

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dear, The first thing in world is, "The mind" is not a physical thing which is present in the body.Its our area of focus on the things we are interested in. Now our focus is only on material things, we think only of material world and get attached with them.If We we watch them while sitting silently with no physical movements the focus goes to thought level.With neglegence to these thoughts by watchfullness are awareness these thoughts also gets discarded.and finally sheer self presence is exposed.Which is called as meditation. You wont find mind in the body if you go on searching years together. - Tatwamasi <tatwamasi wrote: > > > Meditation is the process of stilling /slowing the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
