MEDITATION ENLIGHTENMENT AWARENESS LIFE-ZEST, M.E.A.L

MEDITATION   ENLIGHTENMENT
AWARENESS LIFE-ZEST

 We are all gods in theory. However, we should become gods in practice. We should practice god-hood in our thoughts, words and deeds.

As we increase our practice of spiritual science and meditation we become more and more experts in our god-hood. As we become more and more experts in our god-hood, our Life-Zest increases.

The basic goal of spirituality is to increase our Life-Zest!

“MEDITATION … the first stage”

Meditation means getting control of the mind, becoming the master of the mind.

In meditation, there are three phases:

ANAPANASATI
KAYANUPASSANA
VIPASSANA

ANAPANASATI … means being with the normal, natural, simple, soft, easy and tender breath.  KAYANUPASSANA … is watching, a little, the movements of energy fields … when they are experienced in the body … as a result of practicing Anapanasati.

VIPASSANA … is paying great attention to the third eye experiences as and when the third eye activity begins as a result of Anapanasati practice.

“ENLIGHTENMENT … the second stage”

As we keep to the practice of Anapanasati meditation, we enter into the phase of VIPASSANA and we begin to understand that we are essentially a THIRD EYE! We understand that we are a SOUL! This is called ENLIGHTENMENT!

As we increase our enlightenment, we become more and more the master of the mind, and then we become candidates for right intellect, in the day-to-day physical world.

The first stage of meditation leads to the second stage... that is enlightenment. However, for the enlightenment to become steadfast, two more essential activities are required:

SWADHYAYA
SATJANA SANGATYA

Only a well tamed mind can take up Swadhyaya i.e., reading right books and Satjana Sangatya i.e., interacting with right people.

Without reading right books, and without interacting with right people, enlightenment does not mature!

Enlightenment further means two more things:

NOT LAMENTING FOR ANYTHING
NOT WASTING ANY TIME

We are not here on the earth, for lamenting… whatever be the situation or whatever be the achievement or non-achievement. We are here, forever, to rejoice and celebrate!

Rejoicing is the natural result when we understand that every so called ‘failure’ is nothing but a stepping stone for subsequent success!

Every regret is a fresh blunder! We may commit mistakes … mistakes are natural … but we should not indulge in prolonged regrets.

Secondly, every moment should be utilized creatively and productively!


“AWARENESS … the third stage”

Only enlightened people are perfectly aware in any given moment and in any given situation!

Awareness means to come back to the ‘here’ and ‘now’ …from the ‘there’ and ‘then’!
In the acquisition of awareness, intense companionship with the MASTERS becomes crucial.

A MASTER is a paragon of awareness!

Awareness has two essential aspects:

LIVING IN THE MOMENT
LIVING IN THE ETERNITY – TIME

AWARENESS means dedicating oneself totally to the work on hand, at any given moment.

AWARENESS means being totally alive in the given current situation.

AWARENESS means flowing happily with the natural emotions in the great ‘here’ and ‘now’.

AWARENESS also means living in the concept of eternity. There is PAST. There is PRESENT.

And there is FUTURE. However, these are not distinct and separate blocks but one continuous existence!

Wise-living demands that we take into consideration the immediate past and the immediate future... for fathoming the most appropriate present action or present reaction.
Wise-living also demands that we take into consideration the ETERNITY OF PAST and the ETERNITY OF FUTURE... for fathoming the most appropriate present action or prefect reaction.

“LIFE–ZEST … the final stage”

The end result of meditation is enlightenment. The end result of enlightenment is awareness.
And the end result of awareness of LIFE-ZEST!

Now, every given moment is enjoyed! Now, every given situation is savored! Now, life becomes absolutely dynamic! Now, life becomes absolutely miraculous!

Now, every thought acquires power! No sooner a thought is created … it manifests without any distortions!

Now, every word becomes dynamite! Now, every action becomes a piece of art and grace!
Now, life has become a continuous celebration! ‘LIFE-ZEST’ has two essential aspects:

GIVING
RECEIVING

MORE LIFE-ZEST means more compassion … that is more and more giving! Continuous giving becomes a natural habit!

MORE LIFE-ZEST also means more and more accepting everything! Continuous acceptance becomes a natural habit!

There is a graceful giving and a graceful taking … all the time, in all the situations.
A dynamic and vibrant life is one wherein the amount of ‘gives’ and ‘takes’ is very high!

“The physical body is an energy ball. The Mind is the source of energy for this Energy ball…called as the ‘physical body’! ”

“No doctor can help us! No hospital can help us! No drug can help us! Only meditation will help us! Only vegetarianism will help us! ”
