________________ 76/Meditation and Enlightenment: Chandr Prabh This too is similar to dumping garbage in your house. Make up a little. Be vigilant. Would you accept that garbage or not? Do you have to get yourself engrossed in silence or not? Man is poor in speech but rich in silence. He does know to talk much. That is why much ovation is accorded to the leaders. They talk much. In my opinion, the more a person talks, the more he is backward in respect of 'Sadhana'. If a person exercises to talk less, then half of the miseries of life would be automatically gone. Speaking is the expression of energy, and silence is the compilation and editing of energy. Meditation is the ascent of energy. Man is energy. Energy is his personality. Without energy he is a corpse. Meditation is one's friendship with his own energy. The friction of energy with energy is anger, and attraction of energy by energy is lust. Meditation is getting attached to one's self energy. Neither suppress energies nor bring about their friction. The existence of energy in the energy-form is its perfection. Solitude is the preparation for the journey within. Silence is the basis for staying lonely even in a crowd. And, meditation implies getting lost within self, inter-tuning. These are the three stages for 'trance'. Trance is exaltation, a festival of joy beyond description. Invitation is for that very festival. Come get immersed in your own exaltation, in the exalted form, in trance. Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
