What is meditation? How do we do meditation?

Meditation is pure thinking in the light of the Common Good. It is the ability to contact great visions and great ideas and formulate them to improve society, the planet, and all of life. Meditation is an effort to penetrate into the world of ideas and receive inspiration, enthusiasm, and joy. It is an effort to contact great principles and laws in the Universe and make them practical so that people improve their lives.

We must improve our life through meditation. Meditation makes us think.

People work through push buttons because of their posthypnotic suggestions, complexes, inner commands and fears, and so on. To be mechanical means to be a danger for others. A mechanical man does not use his mind and meets his problems in a wrong way. Improvement is only possible when a man stops being mechanical and starts to think.

Meditation helps you to be your own self, an independent, free person. It helps you to think, to discriminate, to observe, and to act by your own free will. Those who meditate develop discrimination, observation, and the eye that can see.

How do we do meditation? Early in the morning get up and wash yourself. Then sit in a corner and relax. Close your eyes and choose a seed thought. A seed thought means a sentence or a word upon which you want to think. After you choose your seed thought, try to think about it. For example, take the following seed thought:

“How can I improve my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life?”

Now, you have a serious question and you are going to try to answer it. When you start answering the question, you are thinking. For example, when you start to answer you think, “To improve my physical life, I must dress cleanly and simply, wash my body everyday, eat better food, drink better liquids, sleep well, and so on.”

Do not hurry in answering. Then stop and question your answers. For example, “Why to wash? Why to sleep better? Why to eat better? Why to speak better? Why to behave better? Why to control my tongue?” When you answer your own questions, then go to the next level:

“How can I improve my emotional life?”

Start doing the same thing. Try to answer in detail and then question your answers. The same thing, do for the next question:

“How can I improve my mental and spiritual life?”

After fifteen minutes is over, stop and take some paper and write the ideas or thoughts you had. Then say a prayer and go to your daily work.

This is the foundation, and if you do as it is suggested here you will see a great improvement in your health, in your relationships, in your business or office, in your creativity, and in your thinking.

Wrong meditation is very dangerous for it creates imbalance, insanity, a diffused state of mind, irresponsibility, and inertia.

Right meditation makes you saner, more successful, more prosperous, and much healthier. Meditations improves your life without pressure and confusion. Ideas are sources of energy that strengthen your system.

Meditation goes in three steps:

a. First learn how to think.

b. Then make yourself somebody so that you can contribute to the welfare of humanity.

c. Then try to contact the presence of God in the Universe and in each man and bring it forth.

Meditation helps you make a breakthrough to contact a reality beyond the five senses of your body.

Meditation makes you successful. If an individual meditates, he makes his life successful. When a family meditates, the life of the family becomes successful.

Meditation makes us improve our lives. If you improve a man or a woman you improve the family. If you improve a family, you improve the nation. If you improve the nation you improve humanity, but the foundation is to improve the individual first.
