Why does meditation seems so difficult?

Holy Master was glorifying meditation to a small group of disciples. While telling about the importance of meditation he said, “When during the night time you go to sleep, you take rest in the Antaryami Parmatma (Supreme God dwelling in your heart), your physical energy gets revived and you feel fresh in the morning. This is everyone’s experience. Then you should also believe me when I tell you that if you learn to take rest in the same Antaryami Parmatma (Supreme God dwelling in your heart) while you are awake, by means of meditation, not only your physical energy will be rejuvenated, but also your mental and spiritual energies gets rejuvenated. With such revived inner consciousness you will find inner peace and wholesome blissfulness within.”

One of the disciples asked candidly, “Dear Sir, it is not that we don’t believe you. We try to learn and do mediation. But, it seems very difficult for us to sit and do meditation. Why is it so?”

Time to begin our own journey to inner Truth

Gautam, the Buddha once visited a small village on the outskirts of river Ganges. A lot of people from all around gathered to have a glimpse of the Self realized one and listen to his talks. Just being around the completely peaceful one and listening to his talks gave glimpse of inner peace and inner happiness to the people. Soon his fame spread all over and a lot of people started to gather for listening to Buddha’s discourses.

Whenever anyone used to ask Buddha about the existence of God, he used to enter into a long silence without saying much. His disciples were all confused about the existence of God as most of the Buddha’s talks were around explicating the Dharmas constituting reality.  During his discourses, Buddha hardly spoke anything on the subjects of metaphysics, reincarnation, life after death and God.
