Living a meditative life.

Living a meditative life.

Meditation is one thing, but to make it practical in day-to-day life, one has to prepare themselves and become innovative in their spiritual approach.

We always have our material self (body and mind) and our spiritual self (awareness) available to us; we need to use them wisely.

First, we should learn to observe thoughts; then, we should learn to observe the thoughts and the thinker together.

This is when a new dimension of pure awareness opens within, revealing pure, untainted existence.

This needs to be sharpened and made “alive” by immersing in it ( Dhyan ), with practice.

After that, one has to be meditative in every moment in daily life.

Just as oil and water do not mix, one has to learn how to glide over the Sansar without mixing with it.

Awareness is going to help us do just that by staying a witness to the Sansar (body and mind).

Each moment brings new objects, people, and situations, all the time, like a flowing river.

While watching this river, one has to practice dispassion (Vitrag), neither Raag (attachment) nor Vairaag (detachment, hatred ).

Raag and Vairaag both are centered around Sansar.

But, Vitrag is a very unique state in which one has no desire for Sansar, nor any hatred.

Only Vitrag can bring a unique state of bliss (Sthitpragnya state), a state of self-joy (Nijanand) within.

That’s when you become a true Sanyasi, while staying in the Sansar.
