The divine fruits of meditation
THE DIVINE FRUITS OF MEDITATION
The best way to achieve the Sreyokarma or the liberating karma
is through the meditation. And meditating will lead us to the
path of soul's happiness that's etern and sacred.
As a result of the meditation the mind will withraw from the
sensorial world and will reach joy, happiness and truth and will
not be disturbed any more by sorrow and greed.
Meditation should be practiced with enthusiasm faith and care,
following estrictly the established disciplines.
Some think that the benefits of the meditation are that they
will be able to easily satisfy their mundane wishes.
But that is a great mistake, because the meditation and the
repetition of the name of God are ment to acquire an undivided
attention in God, to freedom us fom the sensorial bonds
therefore reaching happiness in God.
We mustn't practice meditation with the idea of obtaining
earth's fruits, we must meditate looking towards inside of us,
until we become able to contemplate the souls blessedness.
Do not pay attention to the time that it takes to reach the
objective, just practice with faith and persistence until God's
grace falls over you.
Three forms exist of following the meditation's path:
The Satvic where you consider that the repetition of God's name
and the meditation are duties that you have to do. That our life
in earth is an illusion and you only wish and do good to
everyone loving them, and not even do it for the fruits.
The Rajasic where every step that you give, you give it because
of the fruits that that will provide you. (With this actitude
you will gradually loose the desire of practicing meditation)
The Tamasic where you only remember God when you are in danger
or suffering, and as soon as you get rid of the problems you
forget God. (Those that are in this path will never be able to
purify their minds).
Meditating will allow you to get reed of the ignorance, layer
after layer, but in order to achieve that you must be equipped
with good habits, discipline, and high ideals.
When we develop the interest and pleasure of meditating, then we
achieve a will and a strength, bigger than the effort of
meditating.
Sathya the truth is so comforting, that when we reach it, there
isn't any more a meditation, a meditator or an object of the
meditation, because they all become One.
The atmic blessedness is the goal and the fruit of the
meditation. The human being that reaches that becomes pure, free
from suffering and divine.
Then he will find happiness within himself, because the
meditation will help him discover within himself the fountain of
blessedness, he will be able to submerge himself into his
inherent divine state, and become a Mahatma (a great soul).
>From there on he will be free and realized, and will live in
blessedness and peace. That's the fruit of meditation!
