THE MIND ... and ...

MEDITATION

Restless Waves of The Mind: Ancient Seers of India gave

the term... ‘Chitta '... to the Restless Waves of the Mind.
Thus, Rishi Patanjali defined yoga as 'chitta vritthi
nirodhaha'.

In the beginning stages of meditation, the rather restless

waves of the mind...become more or less restful. When
meditation is continued with steadfastness and utter
sincerity, a deep restful state of mind is attained ... and all
the restless waves of the mind totally cease!

Meditation means total cessation of all the restless waves of

the mind.

Man is hampered basically by the restless nature of the

mind. The mind by nature is restless. The restless waves of
the mind result in unwanted dissipation of the energy of the
soul. When the soul energy thus gets dissipated, the
physical body becomes depleted of essential energy and
becomes vulnerable and susceptible to attacks from various
external sources such as germs and parasites etc., resulting
in various diseases, early aging etc etc..

Ability to focus effectively on the present and being able to

concentrate on the current issues is deeply hampered by the
existence of the restless waves of the mind. The power of
memory becomes impaired. The more the intensity of the
restless waves of the mind, the more the ineffectiveness of
the person to attend to the work on hand.

The naturally restless mind is the common lot of all persons

who do not strive to cultivate the mind. An uncultivated
land, of course, becomes full of weeds. Similarly an
uncultivated mind becomes full of more and more weed-
like unwanted thoughts. As we make the land weed-free,
we must make the mind free of irrelevant and unscientific
thoughts.

Agriculture is ... cultivation of land!

Meditation is ... cultivation of mind!

Cultivation of The Restless Waves of The Mind:

Cultivation of the restless waves of the mind is always
achieved when the mind is concentrated on any given
work!

The more a person concentrates on a given work, the more

the mind of the person becomes pointed and cultivated ...
and to that extent the intensity of the restless nature of the
mind becomes less. Less restlessness of the mind means
more energy in the physical body!

Energy in the physical body is indirectly proportional to the

restless waves of the mind!

Meditation is the most direct way of cultivation of the

restless waves of the mind!
In meditation the mind has to become concentrated and one
pointed making use of the natural breath. The mind has to
become focused ... using the natural breath.

What happens to us when we become one with our breath?

We experience a wonderful... deep... inner silence!

Meditation means closing the eyes and being with the

breath for a long, long time. Tremendous patience is
required. Whatever may be the turbulence in the mind, eyes
should never be opened. Attention of the mind should be
constantly being brought back on to the breath. The mind
wanders... but it should be collected and brought back...
to... the... breath.

Soon, we will find that the magnitude of breath becomes

shorter and shorter. We will also notice that the breath
becomes concentrated in the upper part of the nose. Finally,
the breath becomes so small and so short that it seems to be
barely existing!

As we are earnest in the practice of this process, a

remarkable thing happens! The mind becomes rather serene
and restful! The intensity of the restless waves of the mind
decreases significantly! A calm, peaceful and tranquil mind
is established! As more and more time is spent in that
calmness, in that tranquility ... a most beautiful thing now
happens! The mind becomes absolutely empty... sans any
thoughts!
Now, we are in a state of deep inner silence!

We enter into such a deep inner silence that we may not

even hear outer sounds; we go beyond them!

In this stage of deep inner silence, a total in warding of the

outer senses happens. The outer senses in effect become ...
the inner senses!

When the mind is, thus, totally empty, huge amount of

cosmic energy floods into the body. More and more
practice of meditation means, establishment of greater and
greater emptiness in the mind.

More the emptiness of the mind, more the inflow of cosmic

energy!

When the physical body gets saturated with cosmic energy,

the natural consequence is that great happening of seeing!

Deep Meditators begins to see!

In the beginning of meditation ... flashes of beautiful

nature... hitherto never seen or experienced ... are seen.
These flashes of nature are all from several alternate
frequency realities.

One may begin to hear new sounds, see new sights and
smell new scents. One may see absolutely brilliant lights
and have visions of new worlds. One may find oneself face
to face with several Astral Masters.
It is natural that in the beginning one would be unable to
make head or tail of these new snapshots that one sees.
However, as one practices and practices, one becomes an
adept.

Soon... a certain measure of control in seeing is achieved.

Interaction with the new reality systems... with a greater
and greater degree of will and purpose... begins to happen.

This is the stage of establishing contacts with Astral

Masters!

When Astral Masters are encountered... in deep

meditation... meaningful dialogues should be established.
Pointed questions should be put and answers received
should be carefully remembered and noted. All the
dialogues and conversations happen through the means of
Telepathy.

Alternate Frequency Realities are other realities of

existence ... other than the reality we are presently, or
currently, engaged in. Each particular reality system exists
with a different frequency. Each frequency reality, indeed,
is an infinite universe. The total cosmos consists of an
infinite number of frequency universes.

With the Inner Senses, we perceive the Inner Worlds!

At any given instant, a particular soul is tuned to only one
frequency universe, which is invariably mistaken..., by that
particular soul... to be the only reality!

However, in meditation, a given soul breaks out of the

cocoon of the highly limited concept of reality! As other
reality systems are experienced ... one by one ... in
meditation, a more catholic and unlimited view of reality
gets established. More and more meditation leads to
gradual flowering of true understanding! Through more and
more personal experience we come to grasp the tremendous
outline reality of the cosmos. All this is called as
Enlightenment.

There are several frequencies of realities or there are

several Inner Worlds! The purpose of meditation is to
activate the Inner Senses, encounter the Inner Worlds and
have contacts with Masters of the Inner Worlds.

Spiritual Wisdom is obtained from the Masters of the Inner

Worlds.

More and more meditation leads to more and more spiritual

wisdom. More and more spiritual wisdom means more and
more health, vigor and energy in the physical body.

Astral Travel: In Sanskrit language, the word ' dhyana '

means...

'dhi' = ' totality of all subtle bodies '

'yana' = ' travelling '
Thus, ' dhyana ' means ' traveling with the higher subtle
bodies '. There are three higher subtle bodies:

Astral Body
Causal Body
Supra-Causal Body

In states of deep meditation, we may suddenly find

ourselves outside our physical body... and we may find
ourselves traveling at a fast pace in one of our higher subtle
bodies... sojourning into new frequency worlds. One
usually encounters the classic Tunnel Experience... as a
compulsory precursor to Astral Travel.

During the Tunnel Experience, one may see one's own self
traveling in a deep, tunnel-like hole... at the far end of
which one will emerge out into brilliant light and step into
one of the alternate frequency reality worlds.

In the beginning, it would be a rather random or

spontaneous or uncontrolled traveling. However, soon, with
greater practice, one slowly achieves willful and directed
Astral Travel.

Kundalini: At deeper levels of meditation, one may also

encounter Kundalini Awakening.

‘Kundalini ' is the name given by Ancient Seers of India

to... the potential and inactive etheric energy essence... that
is locked in the etheric body.
Kundalini is the potential and inactivated etheric energy
essence...
That is locked in the etheric body!

Etheric Body is the energy template body... on the

framework of which a particular physical body is formed in
womb of the mother. The Etheric Body is carved out of the
energies and tendencies of the karmic elements of the
previous life times' experiences of a particular soul.

When this etheric-energy-essence or Kundalini is

activated... in deeper levels of meditation... the activated
etheric energy essence spreads throughout the Etheric Body
in several jolts and serpent-like movements.

The whole process may extend from a few minutes... to a

few hours... to a few days... to a few months... depending
upon the karmic balances of the persons concerned.

The end result, finally, is the activation of one's higher

bodies...
i.e., the Causal and the Supra-Causal Bodies
