Meditation: A Pathway to Intelligent Thinking, Emotional Balance and Mental Power

Meditation is a powerful practice that holds immense importance in our fast-paced and often chaotic lives. It provides a sanctuary for the mind, allowing us to step away from the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that can overwhelm us. By dedicating time to meditation, we cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity. A calm mind becomes more receptive to intelligent and rational thinking. It enables us to make better decisions, respond to challenges with composure, and approach life with a deeper understanding.

One of the initial steps towards achieving a peaceful mind is learning to disconnect from our emotions. Emotions can cloud our judgment and lead to impulsive reactions. Through meditation, we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them. By creating this mental distance, we become better equipped to navigate life’s complexities with a level-headed approach.

Mantras are invaluable tools in the journey of calming the mind. These ancient, sacred sounds or words have a profound impact on our consciousness. Repetition of mantras during meditation can help quieten the mental chatter and instil a sense of tranquillity. The vibration and rhythm of mantras empower the mind, making it more resilient and focused. As we delve deeper into meditation with mantras, we unlock the potential to access higher states of awareness and find our true selves amidst the noise of the world.

Take the help of meditation and Mantras to calm your mind and invoke Divine Power and Energy into you to start your journey to Inner Peace, Bliss, and Self-Realisation.

A ‘Stithapragnya’ or a Yogi with a steady mind

SBG 2:54-57

SBG 2:53 When your mind is no longer wavering or perplexed but is steady in Samaadhi (in Bhagavan) or in self-realisation, you will attain Yoga.
—————————————————
SBG 2:54 Arjuna said:
What is a man, O Keshava (Bhagavan Krishna), who is steady in Samaadhi or Self-realisation called? How does such a man talk? How does he sit and how does he walk?
——————————————————
SBG 2:55 Shree Bhagavan Krishna said:
One who gives up all desires of the mind, O Partha (Arjuna), and when one has a purified mind and is in a pure state of the soul, he is called a ‘Stithapragnya”or a man of steady consciousness.
—————————————————
SBG 2:56 He who is not agitated or disturbed despite the threefold miseries, is also not euphoric when he has comforts and is free from attachment, fear, and anger, is a sage with a steady mind.
Note:
The threefold miseries are, a. miseries that stem from the mind and body, b. miseries caused by other beings, and c. miseries caused by natural calamities and catastrophes over which no one has control

————————————————
SBG 2:57 He who is free from attachment and neither rejoices when he achieves good nor hates evil has steady wisdom and perfect knowledge.
