Meditation Self communication!

When i was a student i used to read a lot and was always lost into the contents of the books i read ,but never thought of experiencing something i read.Reading makes you experience more virtual and many a times it leads to a different influence on your personality.We studied Freud and behaviourism and many things. I had a great impact of western thoughts, i remember a famous collection of Three lectures of Freud and then i read Sartre and existentialism. All those days were full of intellectual experiential fun. We felt that we have understood everything and we can do everything or anything.

My father was a poet and teacher of English. He was a selective reader but he indirectly initiated me to get into the spirituality and meditation. we used to follow his instructions because of his relationship. I used to criticise him and he used to accept that as it is.He never gave answer to that but never forced me to do anything.He did meditation and in the process of his spiritual development he brought many books on meditation and methods. So much so that he finally set a lesson at home for practicing meditation. In his last years before his death he used to train people. I remember he used to go to Bindu ChowkSub Jail to orient prisoners about meditation.

Slowly i had to develop quest of what he must be doing and how he can do that. He was a normal person and never used get carried away by any motivations.All that he transpired through his practices in home made me reread about meditation.Circumstances made me realise that doing meditation is more important than reading and studying about it.Most of the times that also is not possible as you are involved in your own self that you don't have time for yourself and next to impossible is self communication.

He passed away in the year 2001 due to cancer identified reasonably well in advance but, unfortunately beyond cure. we had to see him dying and all that he could peacefully suffer was because of power generated by meditation.

Before his death he wrote many things and he proposed that we should have a workshop methods for orienting this new generation for meditation.He just made a timetable of two days workshop etc. But then it was time for him to leave us.

In last 6 to 8 years when i saw many people suffering and helpless for many simple things and find it difficult to survive because of poor self communication, i found a new link of eastern theories of personalities and who you and all that something beyond Freud,behaviourism and existentialism.I took training in YOGA again found the references and the 6th chapter of GEETA etc.

And finally got to know about an animated film from http://www.spiritual-reality.com/. All that i tried to read ,all that my father was trying to tell me and all that the various lineages were trying to transpire in me was there and surprisingly a student brought it here and i had a first lesson that i have to study even morethan that meditate.

Meditation is self communication. It helps you realise who you are... It definitely lets you know how you should live after the knowledge of the basic process with actual experience. Off course initiated by some known GURU is considered better in Indian tradition however meditation is the need of the hour and let us do it!
