Hi,
I was always intrigued by this term ''Meditation.'' I remember when I was child, how everybody used to talk about i,t as if, it is an impossible feat to achieve. I never understood what it was when I was young. My mother just said, ''its not for you, you carry on with your play.'' I wanted to hear this answer, so that I can easily forget all about it. Sometimes we get what we pray and hope for, and I was praying and hoping that she tells I don't need it, when I asked my mother reluctantly, what is meditation, when I was very young.
Now, when I have a kid, to handle, I am understanding what meditation is (in bits and pieces though).
According to me, Meditation is not very tough as it is made out to be. I had read this link on one of the websites for Osho teachings. It said, any work or activity that does not let other thoughts enter our mind is meditation. Take for example, Me writing this, I am now devoid of all other thoughts about my daughter or any other worrying thought, I am just focussing all my energies and thoughts on to putting my thoughts into writing. This is also meditation according to Osho. There are many techniques by which meditation is done, and basis of, all them is Witnessing. We have to become witness of all our thoughts, words and actions, only then we can see our problems with a different perspective.
This may seem easier said than done, but I believe one should not say anything, unless they have tried it with their 100% focus. Whenever I get worked up(I do, even after I know, I have to simply witness these situations(or people :P) that/who are working me up), I start searching for quotes of Osho on meditation, on anger, on calmness, peace, depending on my state of mind and I do become so much calmer after a good read on these websites.
I am not telling, everybody should sit in meditation and begin to segregate themselves from this worldly pleasures. I believe that pleasure or pain in life is the result of thoughts and actions that we perform and think. It is a lot more deeper than that, and I am just beginning to understand what it is. Good luck to all of you then..
