Meditation & thoughts

It is hard to refute the fact that human beings are thinking beings. Nature granted this lovely virtue to humanity during evolution. It is difficult to determine when and how the first thought started in the course of human evolution. Over the course of history, every continent, every region, every community and every religion has developed its rich culture through thinking. The world has been constructed on top of the vast amount of unquantifiable knowledge that has come from that notion before being put into practice.

Viveka can tell right from wrong. Thoughts that have been recorded as lived experiences and kept in the subconscious mind cannot be erased over time. Similarly, these recorded thoughts are the foundation for furthering new ideas of the present and the future, besides spiritual wisdom. Without the recorded thoughts, no thinking is conceivable. However, beneath the thoughts lies profound silence.

Counter thinking is a form of resistance, and it leads to conflict, which is a waste of energy. In meditation, one fights against one's thoughts and resists them to create space to experience elixir. There is no meditation in such a war zone. On the other hand, meditation is about letting ourselves live with our thoughts without opposing them by being friendly to them and constantly observing them dispassionately. It enhances our awareness, which is essential for making life meaningful and beautiful. The essence of life is to live with thoughts with empathy, sympathy and love.
