Maha Shivrathri - 2020.
The night when you stay awake and in dhyan, you can see for yourself the dynamism in your energy level.
The genetic trouble maker, viz., eosinophil just revisited and had been playing havoc with my health. I didn't have a feeling of it for long since college days. Even in wintry Kashi just a week ago, there was no sign of it in spite of lot of walking, climbing in the gullies exiting us to Gate No 1, mahadhwar to Lord Vishwanath mandir. Strangely Mahadhwar, supposed to be the entry point to Mandir, happens here to act as exiting way, a full half a kilo metre from the temple.
Well,
I need to blame my inconsistency in dhyan practice.
More than any medication what saved me from acute eosinophil
discomfort, what came to rescue was, I
have no doubt to say, meditation only.
Isn’t it time that now with the revisit of eosinophil, I must
get back to the practice?
Yes.
Time : 19:00 Hrs
Date : 21st Feb 2020.
Sat comfortably in the sofa in sukhasana.
Let my eyes close.
Didn’t think anything.
Just watched the breath straining to do its natural flow.
Nor did I stop anything to come in my mind.
Neither did I get anything in my mind.
The healing calmness slowly descended.
How do you express the complete state bereft of any thought?!
To borrow from Sanskrit, it’s complete Nithsalanam.
No force at any moment during the entire session.
Yogis adept at Tapas call this a state of bliss.
Absolutely no sense of any discomfort during the session.
Just about 20 minutes.
Slowly let my eyes open.
The physical frame felt very light.
Discomfort, though didn’t vanish once and for all, subsided.
I felt at ease.
Would surely recommend complement your medication with
meditation.
Never ever discontinue the practice.
You sure will find yourself in the best of your health.
The wrap-up quotes:
Suffering is due to our disconnection with the inner soul.
Meditation is establishing that connection
– Amit Ray
If you have time to breathe you have time to meditate. You
breathe when you walk. You breathe when you stand. You breathe when you lie
down.
– Ajahn Amaro
