IS MIND AN ENTITY?
In the Bhagavan’s message, there is a reference to killing of mind preceded by killing of E…GO.
No need to say it’s not in literal sense…. that pluck out your mind.
All we know is,
If you direct your eyes to shut, it will obey, the same way with mouth.
But the mind is naughty, it isn’t that obedient.
Always is a ceaseless chatter-box.
What Bhagavan meant when He referred to…..killing mind is, it’s an exercise in calming the racy mind,
To quieten it and to bring to complete tranquility.
What’s that exercise?
Dhyan is that magic.
Is it – the Dhyan, the Meditation, hard, hard to learn, hard to practice?
The answer is no.
If not, what is the hurdle that blocks you?
Our Mind-set.
All that is required is put out that mind-set, mind-block.
Next question is why one should do it?
That why would put you on to contemplation and eventually you will unfailingly arrive at the need to do dhyan. Even before knowing the significance of doing Meditation, the benefits of the practice.
Once you get hooked to it even for a fraction of a second, you will fall in love with it.
How long to practice in a single session?
Absolutely no hard and fast rule.
It can be as mini, micro as 2 to 3 minutes and you can have a little longer like 20 minutes.
The Why dhyan?
The world as you see today is show of one-upmanship, expansionism, resultant conflict, absence of Peace.
It’s for the very Peace of one’s own, Peace of neighbor that the practice of dhyan is all the more essential.
