Meditation is Real Alchemy

Self-confidence and arrogance are personality traits with a very thin line of demarcation between them. Often, one tends to confuse between the two.

Self-confidence is a positive attribute that enhances and expands one’s personality. It can be cultivated the easy or the hard way. If life offers a smooth, struggle-free path, then one achieves easy successes, leading to spontaneous development of self-confidence. However, for some, life is a series of challenges, and these unleash the dormant potential of an individual. After successfully surmounting tough situations, one tends to develop a well-earned confidence that becomes an integral part of one’s personality. Thus, a self-confident person is strong, self- reliant and happy with his lot.

Self-confidence bereft of modesty, humility and inner strength becomes arrogance. The most dominant factor conducive to arrogance is ego. How can one sublimate arrogance into self-confidence? Greater self-knowledge and an honest self-appraisal resulting in awareness and acceptance of one’s flaws helps. This can be accomplished only through the process of self-exploration called ‘meditation’.


Meditation is the only real alchemy. It is a time-tested, scientific technique of self-elevation. Regular meditation purges an individual. Even the most stubborn, ossified negativities festering in the darkest crevices of one’s being start dissolving. Sublime qualities start surfacing to transform the unpleasant individual into an agreeable, pleasant one.
