When we devote
ourselves towards meditation, we need to accept that there is an inner
power within me whom I have accepted as being greater than "me".
There should be an
attitude of forgiving, letting go and accepting. We must be obedient to
our inner self. We must keep aside the craving desires of expectation and
meditate without any greed of reward.
Our attitude in
meditation should be to present ourselves to our inner souls.
We must be ready to accept whatever the soul says as it is considered to
be the voice of God.
Selecting a silent
place where we can be unaware of all the worldly pleasures and our mind
cant get distracted by any desires, should be a noting point.
While Meditating we
must forget ourselves as we leave everything on our inner souls.
Forgetting all about how rich we are or how poor the other person is, we
must behave like a baby who is unaware of the greedy world, and leaves
himself to his parents. It is the parents who are concerned for their
children and so in Meditation it is our inner soul who is concerned for
ourselves.
So we need not worry
for what will happen to us as we should believe that we are in gods hands
and they ll take care of us.
Our only concern
should be to dedicate ourselves completely in meditation, irrespective of
the rewards achievable.
Whether results are
achievable or not, but we will do well. Running away from efforts is never
a real human's deed.
We must always
remember that efforts are in our hands, and results are not.
We cannot force the
growth of tree planted. Our job is to just dig the hole, plant the seed,
cover it with soil, water it and protect it from insecticides. These
efforts are in our reach. But the speed at which the tree grows is not in
our hands. If we do complete our efforts then one day we will surely be
rewarded. If we keep this kind of attitude while meditating then our
spiritual tree will also yield fruits in our lives.
Thus we must never
stop our efforts and one day we will surely get our results.
This should be our
attitude towards Meditation.
