see the body get scared on seeing its vibrations. Where have they come from? Are they something new? No they are not new. They were all within. They are constantly working. The energy of the body is also working. But as we concentrate we get to know of them and man gets scared. He feels the whole body is trembling. Some new world is facing him. The vibrations were on even earlier but their sound never reached the ears. As soon as the ears stopped hearing outside noises, these sounds became louder and audible. As soon as the mind got more stabilized, the inner self emerged clearer. Man gets worried when encountering the strange world within. We are well acquainted with the outer world, but not with the inner. The only purpose of meditation is to introduce the one who meditates to his inner world.
Our interaction with the outside world should lessen and that with the inner world should increase. We should be less obsessed with the other person and more with our selves. If this happens there will be major changes in our consciousness and a change of personality will take place. If the transformation were to continue then we could reach the final point. The personality should constantly change. Our
