Meditation cleanses and purifies the mind. It nourishes the soul and makes us firm and focused. It can calm down and rejuvenate our vacillating and tensed mind and also augment its potential.
To meditate means to recall.
But , whom to recall ?
There are two options. Either we memorise something and contemplate upon it. Else , we meditate by forgetting everything and focus on the inner faculty . Deep contemplation is like a beacon light, which can eliminate the darkness of malicious sanskars. Accumulated sanskars of previous birth present in seed form in the psyche mature with time and yield good or bad results.
There are four states of consciousness. They are the three usual states of waking, sleeping, dreaming and the elevated state of turiya awastha ( a state beyond the other three). The case of meditation is, however, different.
Meditation is the journey of our inner faculty and it is one such journey in which we have to walk alone. There is no companion to walk along and accompany us on this path. Our sole companion is our mind. If it is stable, calm and focused, it will support us. If it is unstable, restless and perplexed, it can not proceed even one step with us.
