It is
everyone’s experience that when we are happy, we feel complete from within, we
feel at peace with ourselves and we can easily close our eyes in those moments
of happiness and can enjoy without any external stimuli. However, the dilemma
is that such happy moments are very short because most of the times those are derived
from the fulfillment of a desire that we have chased. Such moments of happiness
are short lived and once again you come back to your original state. The art of
meditation can definitely introduce you to an avenue where you can prolong the
moments of real inner happiness for as long as you want.
There is
a notion that in order to get rid of your depression, one should do mediation.
But the problem is that when one is tense or depressed, one cannot concentrate,
one cannot focus on the inner world, one cannot calm the mind, one cannot enjoy
the inner peacefulness. Human mind generates a cloud of thoughts which over shadows
the blissfulness emitting from deep within from “Anandmay Kosha”. Only way to
blow off the cloud of thoughts is to equip the intellect with the wisdom of the
Self. Once the intellect is armed with strength and purity, it will help to
settle the clouds of thoughts- or in other words mind is calmed. It is only
when the clouds are settled one can sit in meditation originating the thoughts
of peace and blissfulness.
