" SCIENCE OF MEDITATION "
PART-1

[ Excerpted from March 2004 issue of Spiritual India magazine ]

The Science of Meditation is the urgent need,... the most urgent need of the Age !

For too long the Mother Earth has seen dark ages. Now the Mother Earth... the Planed Earth... is re-emerging into light.

The Whole Earth is entering into a new Photon Band ! It is a Galactic Phenomenon !

The Whole Humanity is going through a Mutation, a Spiritual Mutation ! It is a quantum leap in evolution, a quantum change in human consciousness, truly heralded by the Science of Meditation !

My dear Friends ! My dear Masters ! And My dear Gods of India, and the whole World ! The Earth has so far... for lakhs of years... experienced a Dark Age because of the collective intimidating force of some of the Extra terrestrial Negative Beings. But... now... that intimidating force from the far extraterrestrial sources acting on the Earth has ceased !

It has been stopped by the Managers of the Cosmos ! There is no more any dark intimidating force acting on the Earth.

Now... only Light Forces are acting on the Earth from the Extraterrestrial Sources,... heralding a new Golden Age on Mother Earth.

Gautama Buddha lived in the Dark Age; Jesus Christ lived in the Dark Age; however, we are living in a Golden Light Age ! There is a great Spiritual Revolution on, presently, on this Mother Earth ! The bottom-line of this Spiritual Mutation... of this Spiritual Revolution... currently being heralded... on this Earth... is called as... The Science of Meditation .

The Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement dedicated to make everybody a Master of Meditation.

The Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement, having started in the Town... Kurnool... in the State of Andhra Pradesh, Southern India, is now spreading throughout India and the world at large !

My dear Friends ! The time has come for all of us to become a Meditator ! The time has come for making Meditation a regular activity in our day- to day lives !

Meditation is a must! Right from our child-hood we have to become Meditators. As a child we need to be a Meditator - Child. As a youth… we need to be a Meditator - Youth. As a family… we have to be a Meditator-Family. So, for every person, the time has come to understand,… in totality,... The Science of Meditation.

What is Meditation? Meditation is simply emptying our mind; it is, simply, silencing the mind. We all know… very well… what mind is! The Mind is the sum total of all our thoughts. The Mind is the sum total of all our zig-zag thoughts… the hundreds and thousands of thoughts crisscrossing, forming a great jungle out there… that is the average mind.

Whenever we 'decide' to do something, the very next second we create a hundred reasons why we should not do that! Again a thousand reasons why we should do that,… again one lakh reasons why we should not do that! This is the Mind,… a Stupid Mind.

A Stupid Mind,… a jungle-mind,… a whirlpool mind,… a cyclonic mind… is the lot of every person who does not meditate. The jungle-mind creates problems for that person.. When you have a jungle-mind… you lose a lot of energy, you get so much depleted.

Every Thought is Energy!

We need to have right thoughts. The wrong thoughts,… the useless thoughts, incessant thoughts, … they have to be totally ejected out of our system.. Since every thought is energy… a wrong thought, a wasteful thought… means, literally, so much energy lost.

In an average man,… for everyone single right thought … there are a hundred to thousand wrong thoughts. Hence, he loses a tremendous amount of energy. And, then, when the whole body is depleted of energy, the body is liable for attack from outside.

The Physical Body is an Energy Ball. The Mind is the source of energy for this Energy Ball… called as the 'Physical Body'!

If a given mind is incessantly wasting its own energy, the physical body naturally becomes a greatly depleted of energy. As a result, the body is attacked... by various Bacteria and Viruses… and the net result is a diseased body.

The cause of disease in the body is … ever… the mind losing its energy. A haphazard mind, a jungle- like mind is the actual source of all the diseases.

My dear Friends ! Meditation means silencing our jungle-mind ! There should be no zig zag thoughts in the mind whatsoever,… that is Meditation!

If there are no words in the mouth, then it is called as Silence or Mouna. Similarly, if there are no thoughts in the mind, then, it is called Meditation or Dhyana.

Dhyana or Meditation actually means no thoughts in the mind. In every given twenty four hour period, it is imperative for every person to ear mark two, or three or four hours for deep Meditation! Just as every person is ear marking so much to sleep, every person needs to allocate so much time for Meditation.

What is Sleep? And what is Meditation?

Sleep is an out-of-body experience and Meditation is also an out-of-body experience. Sleep is an unconscious out-of-body experience. Meditation, however, is conscious out-of-body experience.

Sleep is a Gift of Nature to our physical body! Meditation, however, is a Gift we give to our own physical body! Meditation offsets, to a large extent, the need for sleep.

A normal person,… who sleeps six hours or eight hours a day … needs to cut that into exactly half the period! Actually a person needs to sleep only for a couple of hours, or a maximum of four hours! And the rest of the time should be spent in Meditation. Eight hours of our sleep must be divided into four hours of Meditation. That is the right mix of things!

Sleep is not just rest for the body! Sleep is energizing the body as well! Sleep is freshening the mind too! Meditation is great rest for the Physical body. Meditation is also energizing the physical body. Meditation also is freshening the mind. However, most importantly, Meditation means activating our Third Eye!

What happens when we sleep? Sleep gives us freshness of mind. As we wake up in the morning,… we find that our physical body is highly energized.

However, we are not just the Physical Body! We are a seven bodied system - a Physical Body, an Etheric Body, an Astral Body, a Causal Body, a Spiritual Body, a Cosmic Body and a Nirvanic Body.

What exactly happens in Sleep?

During our Sleep,… our Astral Body gets out of the Physical Body. When the Astral Body gets out of the Physical Body, the Etheric Body… which is Energy-Template Body for the Physical Body… freely takes in energy from the surrounding cosmos and becomes energized.

Etheric Body feeds the Physical Body!

Etheric Body… the Template… is the source of the energy for the physical form, the physical frame, the physical body.

When a Stupid Astral Body is there,… when a Stupid Mental Body is there in the Physical Body,… the Physical Body loses lots and lots of energy! When, a Stupid mind is present, the Etheric Body's energy becomes critically insufficient for the vitality of the Physical Body. However, when there is a Sane Mental Body, when there is a Sane Astral Body,… the Etheric Body… without the interference of the Astral Body… is free to expand itself and take in as much of energy… cosmic energy… as possible, which energies and freshens the physical system… The Physical Body.

We need to understand what Sleep is !... We need to understand what Meditation is!

Meditation is a million times more powerful than Sleep. If sleep gives us a certain amount of energy, Meditation gives us a million times more energy! That is why half an hour Meditation does away with all the hours of sleep!

Sleep is absolutely imperative! Sleep is a must! People can exist without eating for forty days, but not without sleep.

However, the factual point is that, we don't need to spend so much time in sleep everyday! Long hours of sleep are a truly wasteful use of our resources.

Meditational Energy should, ever, be the main source of vitality for the Physical Body!

Meditational Energy should, ever, be the main source of freshness of Mind and sharpness of the Intellect.

In addition,… and most importantly,… in Meditation… we all have conscious out-of-body experiences.

In Meditation, our out-of-body experiences are so much more conscious! We interact with various Entities in the whole Cosmos! We travel to various locales in the infinite Cosmos! We travel to various realities consciously; we grasp Knowledge, we grasp Wisdom and then we bring back the Wisdom. As a result, our Terrestrial Intellect becomes absolutely sharp;…that's when we become a Buddha! That's when we become a Jesus Christ!

We must understand the Truth,… that… we are not just the Physical Bodies! We have to understand… that… we are Gods! This is the most magnificient statement of Truth! That is the most magnificient statement of Fact.

Meditation means … sincere efforts… put… in… silencing… the mind.

Meditation is the greatest gift from our own self to our own life! We can give so much to our own selves! However, we stupidly look to some other external God, some other Krishna, some other Jesus Christ. We ask, " Oh Lord! Give us this…! Give us that ! " It's all a laughable thing; it's a ridiculous thing. We have to give so much to our own selves… through Meditation.

Throughout past lakhs of years, the Earth has lost The Science of Meditation! However, now, it is back in right earnest!

A common man… or a normal man… plus Meditation is a Divine man!

We need to deify our own selves through spending as much time as possible in Meditation! We have to be in Meditation everyday… a couple of hours certainly, every given twenty four hours.

How do we silence our Minds? Do we chant any Mantra?

No! Just the Breath !!

We don't open our mouths! We close our mouths! We close our eyes! We are with the Breath…, the natural, normal breathing…!

We sit quietly for one hour or two hours. We are Deep into Meditation. We are deep into a thought-free zone of the mind. Oh! What a wonderful thing Meditation is! It has to be experienced! It has to be lived!

My dear Friends! Meditation is the easiest thing in the World! It is simply sitting! It is called zazen. In Japanese, zazen means … just sitting… not doing anything,… not thinking.

However, it should be understood that Meditation means just sitting plus placing attention on the Breath.

The mind automatically becomes empty when we are with the Breath. The Breath is the great catalyst! It is the great Guru! In the Science of Meditation, the Breath is the Guru! We have to sit at the feet of the Guru.

The Science of Meditation is the Most Fundamental Science!

Firstly, we have to understand that… we are all Gods! What are we? We are Gods!

We are not just this physical matter; we are not just the physical forms, which we see reflected in the mirror. We are made of four verities,… matter, energy, thought and consciousness.

Consciousness is the fundamental verity! Thought is a function of Consciousness! Energy is the product of Thought! And, finally, Matter is the crystallization of Energy! In Meditation we evolve to the level of consciousness,… to the level of pure consciousness… sans thoughts, sans any mind-waves.

Meditation means losing our body-consciousness, to a smaller or greater extent. Meditation means losing our mind -consciousness totally. Meditation means losing our intellect-consciousness totally!... Meditation means dwelling happily in our soul consciousness,… which is the purity of original consciousness itself.

When we are in the body, we are stuck up living with a Body-Mind. If we are born in a Hindu Society we are stuck up with a Hindu Mind. If we are born in a Islamic Society , we are stuck up with a Islamic Mind ! If we are born in a Communist Society, we are stuck up with a Communist Mind !

The sum total of all our previous life-times experiences,… in terms of wisdom,… that is called as Intellect Consciousness.

Meditation means to transcend our 1. body - consciousness, 2. mind-consciousness, 3. intellect-consciousness… … and to stay put in the purity of Original Consciousness itself! That is Meditation!

When we come back from The Silence of Meditation … back into our day to day body-mind life,… our intellect-consciousness becomes that much more sharper! That much more wiser also! Our mental consciousness … that is our mind-consciousness… becomes so much more peaceful, so much more collected! The body consciousness becomes so much more energetic!

From time to time we have to go into The Silence of Meditation, into the state of Pure Consciousness… sans anything in the mind, sans any issue in the mind.

We have to come out of our verbal-level activity, our mind-level activity, and our intellect-level activity, into pure consciousness… that is Meditation.

Our Physical Body has been given by our Parents. The Mind has been given by the Society. The Mind has been structured by the rules of the Society.

The Intellect is the product of our previous existences in our previous life-times. This is not for the first time, that we are here, in a physical body! This is our, nth life-time. The sum total of our Series of Lives Wisdom is called Intellect.

The Soul takes on a number of Incarnations,… on an average it takes about three hundred to four hundred incarnations.

The Soul is the Entity. The soul is a speck of pure consciousness, out to have series of bouts of experiences on the Earth Plane, in the Human Cycle.

How do we understand that we are not just the physical bodies? How do we understand that we have got a number of lifetimes behind us and in front of us? How do we know all these things? How did Jesus Christ know these things? How did Lord Buddha come to know of these things?

They all have come to know because they have done Meditation! Because they have become Masters of Meditation! Because they have silenced their Minds! Because they have learnt to dwell in Pure Consciousness! Because they have learnt to come out... of… body-consciousness, mind consciousness and intellect-consciousness… from time to time!

They have done Great Meditation and they have become Great Lights of the World!

Jesus Christ is a Great Light of the World. Buddha is a Great Light of the World. Krishna is a Delight of the World. My Dear Friends! Similarly,… we too have to become … Lights and Delights of the World!

Delight comes from Light!

Where there is no Light there is no Delight! Light comes only from Meditation!

Where there is no Meditation there is no Light! Where there is no Light, there is Sorrow in life; there is Misery in life; there is Tragedy in life; there is Incompetence in life; there is Pain in life.

Meditation gives Success in life, Efficiency in life, Fulfillment in life, Vigor in life, Peace in life, Harmony in life!

Life is meant to be a joy forever! Life is meant to be a delight forever! Unless we understand ourselves in our own fundamental truth, in our own true totality, how can there be joy in our lives? Sans Meditation, there is no joy in life! Sans Meditation, there is no peace that passeth understanding!

What is peace that passeth understanding? Peace… as we know… is when we have money in our pocket; normally, only money and health mean peace of mind! When we have a wife and two kids we have nice feeling! But what about peace that passeth understanding ?... That is obtained only through Meditation!

When we are in Meditation, we are one with the Whole Creation! We are one with the Totality of the Creator-Hood!

In Sleep we are merely out of our physical bodies; but in Meditation we are one with the whole creation! Sleep is a very very distant cousin of Meditation.

Meditation is The Prime Purpose of our Life!

We have given so much importance to Sleep and we have totally forgotten Meditation! However, presently time has come for the Whole Humanity to be as aware of The Science of Meditation, as of Sleep. Time has come for the Whole Humanity to be aware of the urgent need for Meditation. We must make it a daily part of our routine life! Just as we go into Sleep regularly, we have to go into Meditation, too, regularly.

The more we do Meditation the less we require Sleep ! The more we Meditate… the less we require food. More food for the consciousness means less food requirement for the body.

My Dear Friends! Only after Meditation do we understand the Greatness of the Physical Body, and the Magnificence of Physical Life!

Before we enter into The Field of Meditation, we tend to discount the Greatness of Physical Body, or the Magnificence of Physical Life. Small Mishap… and we throw away our Physical Bodies! We commit suicides! What a blot on human consciousness! No animal ever commits suicides! Only humans commit suicides! Animal World is a magnificent world. All animals live in pure consciousness!

My dear Friends! What is Meditation?

Meditation is being with our own self, loving our own self, spending time with our own self. As we spend time with our respective spouses, with our kids, with our friends, with our neighbours,… we have ,also, to spend time with ourselves;… that is Meditation.

Everyday we must sit in a corner of our own room. We can sit happily in a chair. We should cross our feet. We should relax ourselves totally. We should close our eyes and clasp our hands and be with our Breath. We should not open our eyes… come what may!

Everybody needs to Meditate for as many times as possible… everyday. Whenever we find time,… whenever there is no other urgent work in our agenda…, Meditation becomes the urgent need of our day-to-day agenda.

The Science of Meditation is so very simple ! " When we are with the Breath, the Mind becomes Empty,…" this is the First law of The Science of Meditation.

There are three laws of Physical Motion. And , there are three laws of Thermodynamics. Similarly, there are Three laws in The Science of Meditation. The first Law says:

" When we are with the Breath, the Mind becomes Empty. "

Breath is not a part of the body; but it is in the body. Breath is not anything material… but it is sufficiently material to concentrate upon! Breath is an incessantly happening thing. Breath does not age! Breath is the ambassador of pure consciousness in the body! Breath is so simple! Breath can be experienced! Breath can be grasped.

We have to attune ourselves to our Breath! When we attune ourselves to the breath, the Mind becomes Empty! This is the First Law, the First Great Law of this Great Science of Meditation.

Meditation is silencing the Mind ! For that… we… begin … with… the… Breath!

We don't begin Meditation with any chanting! Chanting doesn't play any part, doesn't play any role in Meditation! The mouth has to be kept shut! The mouth is a part of this material World, and as such, is of no use in the Science of Meditation! The mouth has no Meditational role whatsoever !

Up above the Mouth, there is the Nose…! And, within the Nose there is the Breath ! That's where Meditation begins! Breath is the Alpha in the Science of Meditation. The Omega in the Science of Meditation is the Third Eye.

Since Meditation is silencing the mind, we can't have any mental image whatsoever to concentrate upon! We have to make the mind a zero ! So, no mental images whatsoever ! No visualization exercises! We should not hold onto some spot in our Third Eye area! No mental image! And no sounds in the mouth!

No mantras in the mouth! No mental images in the mind!

The mind has to be with the Breath! That is the bottom-line! If the Mind is not with the Breath, the Mind does not become Empty!

The Mind has to become Empty ! The mind has to lose all its socio-religious mental images,… Hindu images, Christian Images, Muslim Images, Communist Images, Atheistic Images, Theistic Images, Buddhistic Images. The Mind has to be absolutely Empty!

The Second Great Law of Science of Meditation is: " When the Mind is Empty, huge amounts of Cosmic Energy flood into the Body,…into the Physicalness. "

The jungle-mind is the barrier!

A jungle-mind doesn't allow cosmic energy to enter into the body-system. When the mind is like a forest, it is a great barrier,… it does not allow any cosmic energy to seep into the body.

The jungle-mind is so very impermeable, solid ! However, when the solid mind becomes a liquid mind, or a gaseous mind, there is so much porosity and the mind becomes semi-permeable… and the cosmic energy floods into the body.

The Mind needs to be totally Empty !

The Mind is the separator of the physical energy and the cosmic energy. It is the dividing line between the physical energy and cosmic energy. When the Mind is like a forest, it is like a solid barrier!

A Mind becomes like a semi-permeable membrane only if all thoughts cease. So, to make our solid mind into a liquid mind … with more porosity,… where there are less number of thoughts, and more gaps… that is Meditation ! And, the way is only through Breath!

All of us understand thoroughly about the osmotic pressure in the root system. The Nutrients from the outside enter the root system of every plant because the tip of the root is semi-permeable. The same thing happens when the mind is in Meditation. The Mind becomes semi-permeable. The solid barrier becomes a porous one, and huge amounts of cosmic energy naturally flood into the physical body.

The Third Great Law of the Science of Meditation says " When sufficient amounts of Cosmic Energy enter the Physical Body… and the Physical body gets saturated with the cosmic energy… the result is the Third Eye."

The final Result in Meditation is the Activation of our Inner Senses. The Final result is Activating our Extra Sensory Perception! The Final Result is Activating our Soul consciousness ! The Final Result is Acquiring the Soul.

In the case of a normal man, the Soul has lost the Soul! The Paradise has been lost ; the Paradise has to be regained ! The Soul is the Paradise !

The Physical Body should become saturated with Cosmic Energy! When the body is saturated with Cosmic Energy, the Soul's Potential becomes, gradually Kinetic! Otherwise, The potential remains just a potential… a dry potential.

The Soul has Infinite Potential ! And, Infinite Capacity! However, all that is dry potential as long as we don't awaken our Meditation!

All the body-mind entities have to become body-mind-soul entities! That is where The Science of Meditation chips in!

The Science of Meditation is The Mother of all the other Sciences.

The Science of Meditation is the Science of Health! The Science of Meditation is the Science of Joy! The Science of Meditation is the Science of Energy Maximization!

The Science of Meditation is the only Unifying Science. It unifies all the various divided sects of humanity.

Hail Unto The Science of Meditation !
