Art & Science of Meditation
Introduction
How do you prevent these vices? Practising yoga and meditation, and developing a spiritual life help by giving us a broader understanding of one's self. They give us inner strength, peace and clarity of perception.
Doubts and insecurities that lead to vices are simply signs of low prana or low energy; even the complacency in society is a sign of low prana. We are neither able to take quick and prompt decisions nor any action - only procrastination and regret results. When low prana reigns over society, simple practices like yoga and meditation help to raise 'sattva' (purity, calmness, positive energy), and help reduce the prevalence of vices (and consequently crime) in our society.
You don't have to be a theist or god-believing to practise meditation. Atheists as well as agnostics can practise meditation or can be spiritual if they choose to be. Meditation is not related to any religion, hence anybody can practise meditation if they want to improve the quality of their life or awareness of their inner selves for permanent peace, bliss and happiness.
