Dhyana Yoga (meditation) for soul awakening.

Meditation 

Human life may be a priceless gift of God. The Lord doesn't have a greater gift than this to offer his beloved creatures. Its specialties and potentials are so extraordinary that its results can only amaze us. This gift has been given to us to satisfy our goals. But it's our ill-fate that we've forgotten our nature, God’s gift and therefore the goal/ importance of a person's life. Neither can we know our potential, nor the Lord’s goal, wisdom or meditation? We are straying distant during this dark, gloomy world. This forgetfulness is strange. People generally forget objects and also what they need read, heard, etc. an individual whom we had known within the past is now a stranger for us since we've forgotten him. But it's rare to seek out an individual who forgets himself. we expect ourselves to be a body with name and form. We desire what our mind desires, we glance upon the body’s needs as our own need. The body and mind are the two wheels of the chariot of our life. But we've totally forgotten that we are the soul and not the body. the little question we hear time and again that the body is different from the soul. But it's very rare that somebody actually experiences this fact. And albeit we experience it, it's during a very hazy manner. If we understand true reality and therefore the difference between the life-force and peripherals that manifests in our consciousness, we'll give prime importance to soul well-being. we might give only that much importance to material objects as is required. Today we are walking with feet barren of shoes and decorate our cars with frills of gold. We are dying of hunger and provide drawn butter to vehicles. “We” means the soul and vehicle mean body and mind. The Lord is serving his servants. it's indeed strange that he has forgotten his responsibility.

ATTAINING THE SOUL’S GOAL

The goal of true meditation is to regain our lost memory regarding our real nature. If someone happens to regain it, it's definitely like a person beginning a really scary dream. it's only then that one experiences a condition like a toddler being lost during a massive crowd or like that of a person who has lost the memory of his identity. Those undergoing such anguish, experience an excellent loss and that they hurt their near and dear ones. Since we've lost our memory (that we are the mighty soul and not the body), our condition is as demeaning as a baby lion being mentioned during a family of goats. As a result, we are giving pain to our true nature, which is divinity.

CONCENTRATION

It is not something great to achieve Divine Powers. It should be shielded from any sort of wastage and will never be misused. the advantages of achieving Divine Powers are encountered once they are gathered during a safe place which they're utilized just for sacred tasks.

As a result of heat, tons of water in the oceans gets converted to steam. such a lot of steams rise into the atmosphere from cooking gas, fire, etc. All this goes into waste. But in an engine, a touch little bit of water is converted to steam. This steam isn't allowed to stray within the atmosphere and is actually collected during a tank. Later its energy flow passes out of a little hole and reaches the piston. As a result of this small process, the engine of a train starts functioning. Not only does it move but it runs at an excellent speed. Its movement is so powerful that it tugs along with it many other compartments

If plenty of gun powder is opened up on the bottom and lit with a match-stick, it'll show a touch light for a flash of a flash then get burnt to ashes. this is often a complete wastage and is of no use to us. But if it's enclosed during a small area of a gun and by pressing the trigger a touch, sparks of fireside touch the gunpowder, this infinitesimal gunpowder gives amazing results. The bullet runs at a mammoth speed to its target. Wherever it lands, it topples that object. One can thus clearly note the difference between just lighting up plenty of gunpowder with a matchstick and on the opposite hand, lighting up a moment amount of gun powder during a gun.

The rays of sunlight are scattered everywhere in the world. Daily the sun rises then sets within the evening. This sunlight can give only a touch of heat and lightweight to us. But if a couple of sunrays are targeting paper employing a special lens, the paper starts burning. If it's thrown during a huge jungle, a fire ensues which destroys that entire area to ashes.

During Draupadi’s Swayamvar (choosing your own groom), the condition for getting married to her was that the potential bridegroom should pierce the attention of a bird placed at a distance with an arrow. Dronacharya was helping his students to master this art. Before his students aimed an arrow, Dronacharya would ask them what they were seeing. On a mean, the scholars would say that they are seeing a bird on the tree. As a result, Dronacharya would declare that such students would never succeed. When it had been Arjun’s turn, he answered that I can only see the bird’s eye and zip else. Thus Dronacharya declared that Arjun would definitely succeed. Truly at the Swayamvara ceremony of Draupadi, Arjun pierced the attention of the bird with one single arrow and thus got married to Draupadi.

It is said that a flying creature called a buzzing bee catches hold of a caterpillar and continues to buzz ahead of it. As a result of continuously hearing the excitement of the bee and visualizing the bee’s form, the psychological state of the caterpillar becomes that of a bee. The caterpillar starts thinking itself to be a buzzing bee. As a result, the body of the caterpillar takes the form of a buzzing bee rather than a grown-up butterfly. Zoologists may doubt this but it's a specific incontrovertible fact that whenever man concentrates/ focuses on a particular name and form, his brain takes up the name, form, and characteristics of that object. As a result of focusing on beauty and youth, a prostitute regains her beauty to an excellent extent at a complicated age too. On the opposite hand, many young men and ladies look aged because they are all the time thinking of hardships and dire circumstances. All this may be a result of focusing on a specific good/ bad thought. this might be intentional or unintentional.

Spiritual Concentration

Spiritual concentration means to prevent them from straying far away from its center which after focusing one’s Divine Powers at one central focus, one should utilize an equivalent for sacred endeavors only. this is often called control of mind or focusing on the psyche in spiritual texts. tons of dialogue takes place regarding the Yoga of Meditation. Once we hear about it, its success seems mediocre but actually, it's an excellent achievement. When one masters this art, man by focusing his scattered conscious energy in one place, utilizes it for a few sacred purposes and thus attains amazing success.

Water is filled in dams. But when it's ejected from a little opening, a stream of it flows at breakneck speed due to water pressure generated by the dam. This flow has extraordinary energy. Its influence aids the movement of wheels of the many machines and as a result, these machines start moving. the development of giant electric powerhouses takes place near gigantic dams. it's very expensive to get electricity using engines and machines but hydroelectricity is cheaply operated near dams. Near smaller waterfalls, you've got water mills. The resultant energy isn't thanks to the stream of water but it's thanks to its concentration. By focusing on a widespread area during a smaller area, you generate power.

Aim of Yoga of Meditation is to concentrate mental thought scattering in one small area of thought. The more a private succeed in concentrating, the more his psyche will radiate with power. Like an arrow of words, it's easy for him to achieve his goal. If spirituality is his aim, he will advance spiritually and his psyche will radiate with Ridhi-Sidhi or what is called Divine Powers. If the aim is material progress, we'll attain this goal too. In whichever appropriate direction this energy is employed, it'll reap good dividends.

Concentration/ focusing means overcoming the wasteful scattering of the thought waves. By obstructing the water flow of a little stream, a dam is made, and thus a little pond, the lake is made. Then artificial streams are created from this lake which gives water to faraway arid regions. If this stream weren't converted into a dam, it might have lashed at the shores and caused wasteful flooding in surrounding regions. this can cause material destruction therein region. One shouldn't think of the thought flow in our brain as smaller in comparison to a hydroelectricity generator. the facility of an electricity powerhouse is restricted and may transmit electricity to a really limited region in its vicinity. Its potential of today is often augmented infinitely fold within the future. Its area of influence which is today limited to family and friends will in the future encompass the whole world.
