Good morning friends. Our mind is the one who told us what to do. It’s so powerful. It can dictate us. We can’t do anything if our mind told us things to do or to think. I have a good reading on one article with regards to overcoming our stress. Let me impart it with you. The mind is compared to a monkey drunk with the wine of desire, stung by the scorpion of jealousy and possessed with the demon of pride. Lust, greed, jealousy, anger, ego, tensions, reactions, grudges, depression, stress and strain are the symptoms and not the disease.
When we are afflicted with a disease like malaria, we don’t treat each symptom like fever, pain and shivering, one by one. We just treat the disease and the symptoms automatically vanish. So deal directly with the mind and the symptoms of stress and strain will disappear. Vishvas meditation is mind management. There is no attempt, however, to control the mind; the idea is to go beyond it.
The common misconception is that meditation is concentration of mind and techniques are taught to achieve this. Meditation has got no technique. There are techniques for concentration. Concentration is a mental exercise between the mind and the object of attention. But meditation is neither a mental exercise nor a practice. Meditation is a direct and natural process beyond mind itself. Meditation is not concentration; it is the mother of concentration.
Remember, concentration is where one tries to control the thoughts. Meditation is where thoughts get dissolved naturally, enhancing your concentration power, memory power, will power, right thinking and fitness power automatically.
When thought current is interrupted which means that all the thoughts are fixed on one object, it is concentration. But when the flow is uninterrupted which means that the thought is not fixed on any one object, rather we just remain a non-doer and directly watch the thoughts as a neutral energy, without any judgment, analyses, participation, visualisation, imagination, contemplation, suppression, repression, condemnation or concentration. – Swami Vishvas
