Be A Meditator

   So many times we crave to just sit with eyes closed and nothing in mind. but the waves of thoughts keep coming. For a few seconds, there is nothing, then again something crops up. How can we quickly reach a state of blissfulness?  What is blissfulness? The absence of sorrow is not bliss. Bliss is to rise above our environmental effects and stress associated with it. Out of bliss comes magic, wonderment, and creativity.  Meditation can help us to attain blissfulness.                                                                 Keep Meditating

Down in the ocean, we can see things around us, but we are not affected by them, like the numerous thoughts crossing our mind during meditation, we are mostly not affected by those thoughts. Meditate to sink into your breath like a submarine.                                                                                                                                                           Keep Meditating

We all know and feel that the nature of mankind is good. We all have inadequacies. Meditation can help us in retaining our essential nature.                                                                                                                                Keep Meditating
