Meditation--the world of experience
India has always been revered and respected for its spirtuality, wisdom, meditation, psychology and philosophy. The spiritual knowledge, spiritual experience and wisdom which our yogis, saints and great spiritual masters have attained after deep meditation and spiritual practices are indications of highest level of conciousness.
Our spiritual books, testaments etc are full of spiritual knowledge. The highest knowledge of spirtuality, soul and spirit, philosophy etc. Could be found in our holy scriptures like Geeta, Ramayana etc. After reading and contemplating on these scriptures, one can conclude that we are mere not a phusical body and there exists a mystical world. We exist at soul and spirit level also and we are here to learn and evolute at soul level also.
Its very important to understand that mere bookish knowledge is not sufficient for self evolution. With bookish knowledge we can do good discussions, could develop ego but could not take us to soul level and world of spiritual experiences. Mere bookish knowlege could never take us near to spiritual experience.
To reach at the soul level, there is only one and one way and that is meditation, devotion and penance. Only meditation can rise our awareness to subtle body and then finally to pure conciousness.
For example if we study a lot aboutfood, about cooking food etc. But could not eat or cook it,then what is the use, what matter is eating it. Important is experiene and not words.
Till the wisdom and knowledge does not come out of experience is meditation, mere knowledge could become harmful for a person since it may create a false ego which may be used for false display. But the knowledge and wisdom that comes out of meditation and devotion is true knowledge which becomes useful for self and society. To dive deep into meditation, we need to purify our hearts and then finally we could experience the beauty of our own selves.
But we can enter meditation only and only with the gracevof satguru. An aspirant can purify himsdlf with the devotion and surrender for his satguru, rest the world of meditation is explored with the grace of satguru.
So the aspirant should strive to become a good disciple because a worthy disciple could obtain the secrets of meditation and god from satguru. After getting which he becomes free from all pain, suffering, enjoying the nectar of immortaliy.
When I started meditating under the able guidance of Dhyan Guru "Archna Didi" I found it very simple and divine as compared to what I used to do earlier. Meditation needs an enlightened teacher's help with whom one can safely go through the journey .
