Discourse- 184 Experience peace in chaos is a real meditation practice
Real growth takes place in darkness, scarcity, failure etc. Have you ever noticed that when you are in pain and living on a border line where you have no resources such as money, house etc. or everything is lost by some reasons? Yes, it happens. We need to understand that we are interconnected at the level of oneness. But there are some higher power which is beyond human mind that always protect us. This is the great opportunity to do meditation practice.
As long as we have huge amount of trust within our self and trust on higher power as well that they would protect us, nothing worst ever can takes place. There is always a ray of light after darkness but we need to be honest, truthful, and live with the highest degree of compassion. Finally, you would notice that these moments were needed to make you strong and evolve at higher level. I encountered such kind of moments many times in my life. Now, I witness that I am here because of those moments. Therefore, I am grateful for those moments. If something happens in our life there are two choices either we can move forward by accepting it or refuse it. It depends upon us. Celebrate every moment in our life. Celebrate darkness and failure also however it never exists but we label it with our mind.
We can feel the pain and suffering of others within us at the level of compassion. Basically, we are soul or energy which is connected with higher source of energy. But people commit suicide and go in depression because they are lost in the thought of illusion created by ego and not connected with higher source of energy. Another point is to let go of failure, darkness etc. We need to investigate and witness of these moments as well. Talking is easy but when we face it practically, it is very difficult but we need to consider this is the opportunity to practice meditation in the form of compassion.
Surrender yourself and accept it whatsoever comes. They would give us millions of times more than what we think. Never lose trust and hope because there is a higher power always working beyond human body and mind but we are not aware of it because we are connected with many useless thoughts.
Just for a example, have you ever noticed that how a baby is born after sex. We can connect body and mind during sex but baby is born because we are connected with life force energy. It means there is something higher power beyond human mind and body. We need to connect with this power spiritually. It is eternal. As soon as we connect with it, our life is blissful and immortal because we are seeing the things beyond body and mind. This is real meditation practice.- Sanjeev Kumar
