But then when we actually do
proper dhyana under rightful guidance,
then we understand that through dhyanam
we transcend the mind itself.
We regulate the mind and then transcend it.
That means there is no thought process involved
at some stage.
Problem is a lot of us have heard the word meditation,
many gurus have also flourished teaching people
how to meditate.
But how many are actually able to meditate properly
in a rightful way?
First of all, meditation as a word is also not understood
and when the very definition of
meditation is not understood properly,
then how are we going to do the meditation correctly?
Let me bring your attention to this idea of the
difference between meditation and dhyana.
According to the Oxford dictionary, meditation means
thinking repeatedly of one object,
that is the English definition.
Now when we are approaching meditation
how are we going to think repeatedly of God?
God is not an object;
God is not a known entity that you can think about.
So, by that definition meditation is not
what it is understood as,
but then when we actually do
proper dhyana under a rightful guidance,
then we understand that through dhyanam
we transcend the mind itself.
We regulate the mind and then transcend it.
That means there is no thought process involved
at some stage.
You are saying goodbye to this entire process,
you are jumping straight
from thinking apparatus to the feeling apparatus,
or you are moving from intellectualising to intuition.
So that is a quantum leap when we are meditating under
proper guidance, and this is what we have been sharing
throughout the world and I will be happy to share
this knowledge with one and all on how to do it.
We have a free app, Heartfulness, anyone can download it.
There are no charges whatsoever,
neither in the beginning nor at any stage.
How to use this app? Download it once.
Whenever one feels like meditating there will
always be a Trainer available on a one-to-one basis.
For example, you woke up in Texas
at maybe 2 o’clock in the morning,
at that time you felt like meditating,
but who are you going to wake up to actually walk
you through this process of meditation?
Once you have this app [Heartfulness] on your phone
and you like to meditate, you just press that button
that I would like to meditate.
Someone from another country, a preceptor…
All these things can be done;
somebody from the other side of the world
who is awake can work with us, meditate with us,
transmit to us and make us properly experience
the heights or the depths of meditation.
For example, another scenario is let us see you
are at home and you have two kids and your wife is also like
to meditate so you are now four,
so in that app when you request meditation,
they say I would like to meditate
and I have three other members
and my family who like to meditate.
This can be either family members or patients
or strangers also. It doesn’t really matter,
you can share this app.
