Today in my post I’m going to share about meditation ,I know Most of you know all its benefits ,there is lots and lots articles are there on web. Even though the academic research on mindfulness meditation isn’t as robust as, say, nutrition or exercise, there is a reason why it’s been around for literally thousands of years. And we’re starting to get a better understanding of why it seems to be beneficial for so many aspects of life, from disease and pain management, to sleep, to control of emotions and specially for inner purity. People take great care to install security systems with alarms to deter intruders from breaking into their homes. Some have simple systems, while others are hooked up to security companies that monitor the premises. Some others have a guard or watchdog. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our premises are still open to intrusion. Here I’m sharing one beautiful story of a rich landlord. One day a group of thieves wanted to rent a room.r He did not know they were thieves and so took them as tenants. The group moved in and lived there for a month. When the next month’s rent was due, they said due to financial setbacks they would have to delay payment. This went on for several months until the landlord discovered that they were a gang of thieves. At a loss, he sought his master’s advice. The master said ,”Go to the police department and see if anyone there is in need of a good apartment and if and if need be, lower the rent to make it attractive. When the thieves meet him and learn he is a police officer,they will move out on their own.” The man followed the advice, and sure enough, the thieves quickly moved out. They never paid the rent, but at least they were gone and the other tenants could live in peace. Similarly, we want to protect our homes from intruders. But how many of is worry about intruders that enter our body and our mind? We have inadvertently allowed some thieves to enter,and they are causing havoc. These are anger,greed,attachment and ego. They have snuck into our very being and are causing chaos within us. We are so careful about keeping thieves out of our homes. Have we ever taken as much care to keep negative qualities from our inner home? They have silently and sneakily crept into our being. They cause us to be angry. They make us tell lies. They incite impure thoughts within us. They make us greedy and selfish. They cause us to be intolerant towards others. They make us egotistical. They are robbing us of our true gift- our spirituality. Instead of growing spiritually, we are wrapped up in the drama of these negative traits. Our true wealth is our soul and our connection to God within.We want to meditate, but these thieves occupy our thoughts. We want to become ethical people, but these thieves drag us into their never ending play of insanity. We want to be selfless,but they keep us occupied in thinking of our own needs. They are ruining our peace of mind. We want to be calm, but they cause us to be in a state of turmoil. How can we get rid of these thieves? The property owner’s master advised him to bring in a police officer and his presence drove them away. Who is the police officer who can help rid us of the thieves who have taken possession of our being? Masters have given us the police officer of meditation. By engaging in meditation, the thieves that want to rob us of our union with God will fly away and we will reach our spiritual goal of reuniting the soul with God.
