In the previous post we saw how a person can be in an ever blissful state by attaining the ultimate realization. But how does one attain this realization?
One attains such a tranquility of the mind by first developing equanimity towards pleasure and pain, praise and insult, riches and deprivation.
One whose mind is under control finds the mind as the biggest friend. If the mind is not under control, the mind itself becomes the biggest enemy. So one should try to uplift oneself by proper training of the mind. One should not allow the mind to derail oneself.”
This process of restraining the mind is what is referred to as Dhyana or meditation. How does one do that? We will see that next.

Respect to author, some fantastic selective information.
ReplyDeleteThere are several studies that affirm this theory. One of them, carried out by the American Lung Society, showed that meditation is even more effective than smoking cessation programs and, in addition, the duration of its effect is even greater than that of traditional treatments. This may be because meditation helps to unlink the desire for the act of smoking.
