People these days are talking about meditation. Like exercise for moving around sitting still is also very much needed for the body to be healthy.
Meditation is the art of living in the present. Human beings normally choose to recollect the past or predict the future rather than think about the present.
This attitude leads to a vicious circle of hopes, failures, regrets and tensions. Meditation leads us to stay with the time thereby keeping us away from past or future. We tend to observe current events with minimal reaction.
Through the practice of meditation, we can control that part of the mind which creates all the problems. Our aim is to train the emotional area of the brain. Today, man is constantly overweighed by the fear of being ousted in the race for survival.
However the question no longer remains to be survival, but more luxury more wealth and more success.
The man constantly craves intellectual knowledge and superior memory merely to outshine his competitors. Yet he is not concerned to discover the reasons behind such feelings such as anger, greed and fear.
The brain can be vaguely divided into two halves, the outer half of the mind which deals with the outer emotions of the world and the other is that part that controls the inner being or the subconscious.
Unless we control that part of the mind which in turn controls the inner being or the subconscious, we cannot come to the root cause of the problems.
