________________ Under the Shade of Trance/87 meditation, it does not peel-off easily. Who would desire to drink sea-water after drinking milk? Meditation is the golden sun-rise on this earth. Meditation teaches us the method of returning home, the process of coming back to nest. Mind is a heap of atoms. Atoms do not live life. Meditation is the provision of making mind conscious. People think that meditation is death, is teaches us to negate the mental tendencies. Factually it is not so. There is no life better than meditation. It does not teach us to stop or to obstruct, but to return back. It rather instructs to infuse dynamism in it. Acquire the maximum possible speed. You would become a 'sthitprajna' (having an unflinching real knowledge) if you would enter yourself. We would know all without going where we want to go now. The entire world would be reflected in our soul. At the mirror lying in our house would be reflected the shadow of every activity of the world. This is the real life. This is the life in which the heat waves of running-chasing, riots and disturbances, terrorismextremism do not blow. Here prevails peace, supreme peace, evergreen. Mind is active. Meditation does not imply usurping the activity of mind; mind is not made inactive like a corpse. Meditation goes on developing mind at different dimensions of consciousness. The lotus-petals of the mind which are still touching the mud to some extent, mind makes them unblemished from the mud. Rising like the sun it makes them bloom in its natural form. That is, meditation gives the mind the fragrance of reality. This is not the process of imparting inactivity and inanimateness. It rather introduces the tendency for development. The 'Kundalini' is asleep in the navel. Meditation awakens it, and makes it break through the cycles. When a person breaks through the cycles through meditation, then he journeys from down below to up above. It is the ascent, scaling Mt. Everest. Breaking through the six cycles is the breaking through the six human vices. Across these cycles is the indifference to attachment where the 'sadhaka' hears 'Brahmanaad' (voice of God), the melody of onlyness.
