Why Meditate? Here's why!

Meditation is essential to one's mental, physical, and spiritual health. Not only for those who practice spirituality but for every human being on this earth. Meditation provides you the balance needed to keep going in this life and more. During meditations, you are plunged completely into a world of thought and must develop an earnest desire for calm thinking.

For in every human being, there is what we call, the work-a-day man, a higher being. This higher being in humans remains concealed unit it is awakened. And each of us can only awaken it for himself. Meditation is an inward calm that serves as a magic force that sets free certain higher faculties and further develop that inner life.

You must provide yourself a moment of inward calm, and in these moments, learn to distinguish between the real and the unreal. When we attain a calm survey, the real is separated from the unreal.

If any person really has no more time at their disposal, five minutes a day will suffice. The real point is the manner in which these five minutes are spent. The value of such calm inward contemplation depends less on the actual thing we contemplate than on the power which such inward calm develops in us.

For it is within your progress that you will gradually attain a state in which you determine the manner in which the impression of the external world shall affect you.

The calm of the moments set apart will influence his ordinary existence in so many ways.

You will grow calmer, will attain serenity in all his actions, and will cease to be perturbed by all manner of incidents.

You will also be less governed by circumstances and external influences.

You will cease to be annoyed by things that formerly worried you.

You will notice that the countless matters that once filled you with fear will now cease to alarm you.

You will acquire a new outlook on life.

You will begin to steer your own ship on a firm, secure course, among the waves of life, which formerly tossed it helplessly to and fro.

The impatience which would naturally overcome you will vanish.

This calm and serenity reacts on the whole being. They assist the growth of the inner man, and of those inner faculties which lead to higher knowledge.

No outward forces can supply space for the inner man; it can only be supplied by the inner calm which he may give to his soul. Outward circumstances can only alter the course of his outward life; they can never awaken the spiritual inner man.

We must realize and remember that the 'higher being' in a man is in constant development, and only the state of calm and serenity through meditation renders an orderly development possible.

To every person who perseveres, the day will come when a spiritual light is revealed to the person and a whole new world, whose existence was hitherto unsuspected, is discerned by an eye within one's self.

Remember, it is not of so much importance to achieve a great deal in meditation in a given time, as to be earnest in the search. Meditation is the means by which supersensual knowledge is attained and produces a complete transformation in one's self.
