Why should we meditate Mahatria?
Forget about all the spiritual dimensions,
we’ll come to that later…
if at all we come to this.
Research reveals a human being
on an average has about 60,000 thoughts in a day,
of which 96% of your thinking,
is not even acted upon.
It’s irrelevant.
It’s just a marchpast of thoughts
that is happening in your head.
Newton’s Law of Motion says,
‘For anything to be disturbed from a state of inertia,
there has to be expenditure of energy,
which means…
every day 96% of our thinking
is nothing but expenditure of energy.
Explains why we live in a tired humanity!
As a teacher, I’m telling you,
I cannot teach a tired mind.
The more and more I see people…
when people are sitting with dynamism and energy,
they absorb the teacher.
When they’re sitting with a
fatigued, tired, drained-out mind…
You cannot teach a tired mind.
And I feel I’m living with a tired humanity!
Because the collective mind
is the collective mind of the world…
it is a tired mind…
Why? Because sensory overload!
We are seeing more than we need to see…
we are hearing more than what we have to hear…
we are thinking more than what we need to think…
96% of everything that you are thinking
is mere drain of energy.
That is why man is tired all the time.
And the truth is
a human being is not designed for tiredness.
Man is not supposed to be tired.
I’ve not known what is tiredness!
I’m 59.
And I just don’t know what it is…
to be tiredness.
Not because we’re recording this video,
you’re seeing the energy and …
This is the only way I know to live my life.
Full of… Brimming with energy and dynamism everyday…
because I have all the energy at my disposal!
Why?
Because for few minutes every day, I unload my mind.
Let’s not use the word meditation,
it gets too spiritual.
Let’s start doing something very simple.
For a few minutes every day,
unload your mind.
Shut your eyes.
Mahatria, can I listen to music?
Still, you’re loading your mind.
But at least music is noise by choice.
It reduces the amount of inputs that is coming there,
if that is the only thing…
When you’re starting…
if that is the only way you can disconnect yourself
from the world outside…
do that.
Or your eyes has to see only one thing…
the altar of your God.
And that’ll help you…
The horizon!
‘No Mahatria,
I don’t believe in God.
But I also want to have a relaxed life!’
Look at the horizon.
Look at the night skies.
Observe a tree, observe nature.
Watch your child in sleep.
All I’m saying is unload the mind.
Reduce the amount of input
that is getting into your mind.
For a few minutes every day,
you’re conserving that energy!
By simply practicing few minutes of non-doing…
unloading the mind…
you’ll find your energy levels go up!
Once your energy level goes up,
there is a different dynamism to your entire life.
I think to start with,
implement this and
whenever you’re ready for spiritual ascendance
and when you want to understand the depth of meditation
much further than
just being in an energy-full state…
When you’re ready,
your teacher will appear for you.
That time we will take it deeper
as far as meditation is concerned.
Thank you.
