________________ 58/Meditation and Enlightenment: Chandr Prabh imposes non-essence in essence, and essence in non-essence, he proceeds two steps further towards darkness. Man's ignorance implies considering inanimate to be animate, and animate to be inanimate. Considering is a mere illusion. The dawn of knowledge is wanted in life. Knowing is a novel revolution. By taking inanimate to be animate does not make the former infused with the energy of consciousness. Inanimate can never become animate and vice-versa. Incorrect imposition of one over the other is tantamount to spreading a layer of mud on the mind. Applying wisdom of life to commodity, condition or situation is the original impurity of mind. If the sensibility regarding differences between man, material and consciousness is procured, then impurity has to move miles away from the internal world. Meditation is the philosophy of conscience that shows this original difference. Those, who are habituated to smoke; or, are surrounded by anger and irritation, or, in whose inner conscious tension has forcibly encamped due to some external disease, must take the medicine of meditation in the morning and in the evening. To live with totality in meditation by centralizing energy is the legal banishment of the impurities of mind. Purity of mind is the foundation stone of internal peace for man. Humanity loves peace, and the world loves humanity. Peace is the personality of the world, and it is the duty of man to dedicate himself in all respects to that personality. To connect the totality of life with the values of humanity, is to give-away the scroll of honour to the world with your own lotus-hands.
