48 : Śramaņa, Vol 65, No. 2, April-June 2014 Mi- My Mera Tassa - He DuşkȚtya- Ill deed Micchā- Be false
It is not any sort of command, promise or declaration. It is experience. When someone consciously recollects again and again his routine, he recalls his acts performed non- vigilantly or as a doer, his acts may be good or evil. In practice it may also be charity and theft too. But whatever was committed it was due to delusion, under the effect of anger, pride, deceit or greed. When he observes all that as knower or perceiver, it appears like dream. That is tassa micchāmi dukkadam. Time for Meditation
There is no specific time for meditation one can meditate when one has time or is suitable to his routine. However, it is desirable to fix a particular time for meditation. To meditate at an appointed time sustains the practice. But if unable to fix a definite time one ought to meditate according to his convenience. Why Meditation?
If we meditate with expectation, the meditation will not be possible because mind will cling to that expectation. For example, if I have to meditate for mental peace, then while sitting in meditation I will wait for mental peace and will not be able to meditate. Therefore, one should meditate without expectation and without desire. Expectation is not desire. Self-Realization in Group
By practice of meditation in group each practitioner gets support from those of others. The enthusiasm and stability increases in practice. If there are more than one practitioner in a family and they practice together daily, or if not possible daily, even weekly, that practice in group will bring peace, equanimity and bliss in family. Mutual problems are also solved naturally.
