well as life. I was stunned to hear this. There was a revelation in what he said. At the onset of the economic and violent revolution, the person who is away from the society and does not know social life finds it very difficult to protect his life. But the one who is working for society will never find his life endangered, for he is fully respected. Therefore, individual mental personalities which create obstacles in promoting social health should be given up totally. Meditation can help to rectify the personality.
Emotional Reformation Our psyche should be purified so that cruelty does not exist in it. In the absence of cruelty, selfishness will not exist. Selfishness, cruelty and greed are interrelated. if greed is present, then selfishness will exist and cruelty will also be there. The greatest fruit of meditation is to awaken sensitivity in man. If he has no compassion towards others and he does not consider other's grief as his own, then it is obvious that meditation is nothing more than intoxication for him. Intoxication just provides simple peace by suppression of worries without curing them. Peace descends even in the state of sleep but this peace is not meaningful. Meditation is not meant just for peace, it is also meant for reforming emotions. After practicing meditation for an hour, if you start a quarrel, then what is the use of the so-called peace? The end result of Prekshadhyana is to reform the emotions, the tendencies, the habits and one's nature. This reformation obviously enhances the value of meditation.
Basically, greed,
possession and selfishness render the
society sick and unhealthy. Dr.Lohia, a
well-known socialist revolutionary leader of India, was a very clear
and outspoken personality. During discussions, he made a statement that if his
social revolution succeeded, then many people would loose their
money and life
In a nutshell, if one will practice Prekshadhyana then he will meet success in life. The meditation will provide a harmonious and happy life. There will be birth of a new man and new society. There will be upliftment of individual and society in real sense. Ultimately, this would lead to the welfare of the individual, the family and the society. <>
