Be A Meditator- No Future, no past, all is now moment

Imagine a situation. A football match is going on, and the goalkeeper is all set in the middle of the goalpost to save the goal. and then suddenly the ball just goes past him. A shout from the spectators 'Goal !' and from the other end, oh no! as no one expected him to miss the ball. What might have happened? Was he thinking about the previous match or the next league match that was forthcoming? We need to train our minds not to indulge in the past or future, just be present in the now moment. Meditation can help us to learn to be in the present moment Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Meditation can turn the emotions of anger into a great success

Anger is a much-talked-about human emotion. If it is bottled up then it can consume our love, rationality, and emotional and physical health. if we direct the heat of anger towards others, it destroys everything in the path of friendships, work relationships, marriage, and family.
Physiologically anger includes a two-stage jolt. The first stage is the surge of Adrenaline which lasts for a few minutes but energizes the body for immediate action. (fight or Flight)
The second surge of Catecholamines lasts longer, from a few hours to days. This is what can be used by sportspersons, mountaineers, divers, and army personnel to convert their actions into great success. So long as we control the anger we feel and don't let it control us, success is around the corner. Meditation can turn the emotions of anger into a great success. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- The Philosophy of Meditation

According to Swami Veda Bharati, the philosophy of meditation says to find out, not by logic, analysis, or rationalization, not by collecting data and feeding them into a computer But to find out by experimenting.

The difference between logic and experiment is when the sun rises there will be light all over the earth facing the sun. Every object will be clearly visible. there will be colours all around, This is logic. By experimenting we realize, that we learn better and faster with the rising sun. Keep Meditating

One Flower Sermon by Gautam Buddha to Mahakashyap his principal disciple

There is a story from the life of Buddha and Mahakashyap. One day, Buddha came to the evening sermon with a flower in his hand. It was a special flower, a very rare flower that had bloomed out of season. And the person who found it, turned down the king and the chief minister of the kingdom so that he could give it to Buddha.

Buddha brought the flower to the sermon and instead of speaking, stayed silent. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 2 hours ... even the senior students became confused and frustrated. People who had come to see him from far and wide were confused beyond measure. Why does Buddha not speak? What should we do? Should we speak up? Should we ask him if he does not want to speak today?

Buddha kept looking at the flower. And suddenly a burst of loud laughter was heard ... it was Mahakashyap. He understood that Buddha had been teaching them all to find wisdom in silence, but when he demonstrated it, everyone got frustrated. The paradox made him laugh out loud. Buddha then invited Mahakashyap to the fore of the gathering and gave him the flower. Mahakashyap became its first steward.

The flower sermon is the story of the origin of Zen Buddhism in which Gautam Buddha transmits direct wisdom to the disciple Mahakashyapa.

Credits: This story was narrated originally by Osho.

Thailand cave rescue, how meditation helped the boys survive

On 12 July 2018, 12 boys and their coach were rescued from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave complex in Thailand. The boys were there for 9 days before being rescued. What kept them alive?

Their coach, 25-year-old Ekkapol Chantawong had been taught meditation at a monastery in Mae Sai, Thailand for 10 years. According to sources, the coach told the boys to meditate in the cave, keep calm and preserve their energy during the two-week-long ordeal.

Being trapped underground in a blocked-off cave must have been nerve-wracking. On the first, second or third day, panic would have set in and hope would have dwindled. Only a skill like meditation could have given the team the energy to go through this ordeal. Like the rest of the world, we are also jubilant that they have survived. We are sad about the passing of Thai Ex-Navy-Seal Saman Kunan. We are grateful to all the divers, people, and governments, including the Indian government that sent water pumping equipment. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

We believe that even if you do not want to meditate, or do not intend to meditate, or are not able to find the time for meditation just learn it. It will come to your aid whenever needed. Keep Meditating

The path you pave now is the road for tomorrow

Paving a path means preparing a path easier for something to happen, or somewhere to reach. It often implies clearing obstacles, making progress easier, or creating favourable conditions for a future event or development. If the paved path is uneven and full of concrete. Then when we walk on it, we will stumble, we may even fall. It will definitely slow down our speed and delay in achieving our goal. So it is very necessary to create a smooth path today as this is going to be the road, on which we will drive tomorrow. Meditate to develop a will and determination to create an excellent road to be traversed by many in future. Keep Meditating

Embrace Emptiness with Meditation

Once a large project or undertaking is over, it is natural to feel empty. It may also occur after a major goal has been achieved, a long journey, a sudden reduction in responsibilities on retirement or when a child leaves for college. In such times, it is natural to feel empty and we generally fill this emptiness by turning to food, television, or other substitutes which do not fill the emptiness.
