Peace inside you


In this mechanical life we often hear the word Meditation. What is this all about? Will it solve our problems? answers the questions that were unanswered. What I would say is No. but one thing I can say is it reveals the peace inside you and shows the real happiness.

What is happiness?
To a 30 yr old guy growth in his career
To a teenager Fashion ‘n’ Friends
To a 50 yr old Uncle ‘n’ aunt their children’s future gives happiness and the definition fro happiness differs from people to people.

When we get settled in our career the next is the aspiration for promotion/salary hike. Then getting married to a guy/girl. Then kids and their future. Finally are we satisfied with all these? No. we want this, that and this is endless. Then what gives us satisfaction with this life and happiness? It is the peace inside us.

At least once in day we search for peace by listening to music or chatting with friends and family. All these are the peace we want to enjoy in this world around us. can we sit relaxed for sometime and search the peace inside us. Yes I mean to say about Meditation.

How to realize?
In our day to day life thousands of thoughts run in our mind which may be of past,future or present. Are these thoughts really required. Even during sleep the incidents that happened so far comes as dream disturbing the rest we physically get.

We need our mind also to relax. Meditation gives silence to our mind, putting bar to all other unnecessary thoughts. With at least 90 days of regular practice one can feel the silence in him and an individual himself cannot practice this. He should know what it is from a Guru. When the mind is focused on something involving oneself deeply with it, spirituality grows, concentration increases and the work we are engaged get completed successfully and one can easily feel the happiness which is attained because of the union of one’s mind and soul bringing an harmony with the omnipotent being.

Even our super star RajniKanth says that he practices Meditation and asks his fans also to do the same. Let us participate in Meditation, make it a part of our life and enjoy the Peace inside us.
