________________ Meditation is not an easy practice to learn as mind keeps wandering, but once learned, it is the easiest and most natural practice. Keep patience and remember: * You clean your house and body regularly; why not also clean your mind regularly with meditation? Do not be down or frustrated under any circumstance - we have to accept the natural reality as it is. * Under problematic or dangerous situations, we have a third alternative to solve any problem - not to fight or flight or submit or suppress yourself, but to find an alternative that is positive, constructive or creative for the situation. Remember that every problem has a solution. Mind is a very restless organ. If you cannot control your mind, it will control you. Keep an open mind to accept the truth. No rigidity or obstinacy or closed mind, but open and dynamic mind to accept the truth. Mind is an instrument of your soul. One can use it positively or negatively. Soul is attached to physical body and brain in every living being. Soul can be defined as consciousness, intellect, energy, divinity, etc. Soul is attached to actions, thoughts, emotions and perceptions. All our actions and reactions are registered in the limbic system of our brain. Hence our karma are always registered in the brain and attached to our soul. All our positive and negative actions will have reactions from the brain -positive actions will have positive results and negative actions will have negative results. Always listen to intuition, and respect it. It will create awareness. The questions that can be answered through meditation are: Who are we? Why are we born? What should be the goals of our lives? What should be our destination? How to achieve it? What should be the Values of our lives?
