Uncover The Inner Strength to Overcome Problems
Uncover The Inner Strength to Overcome Problems
As we look at our lives, we find that we are constantly
experiencing ups and downs. Some days, we are happy, while others bring us
sorrow and pain. This feeling has only grown over the past two years as we’ve
adapted our lives to the pandemic. Since we do not seem to have much control
over the ups and downs of life, we need to learn to live a life of peace and
relaxation. We can stay at an even keel through the storms of life by finding a
calm center. We can reach this still point through meditation and prayer.
From the moment a soul enters this world within a mother’s
womb, through the process of birth and all the phases of growth that it will
experience throughout its lifetime, there will be pain and difficulties. The
nature of the pain and difficulties may change, but they occur through life.
When we realize this truth, we begin to search for answers. This search brings
us to the spiritual path and to the words of saints and mystics who have come
to this world to show us the way to happiness. The saints offer us a blueprint
to unravel life’s great mystery so that we can attain life’s purpose: To
reunite our soul with God. While the road Godward may not be easy, we can
accomplish it one step at a time.
First, we need to learn to withdraw our attention from the
outer world and focus on the inner spiritual worlds. This process of
withdrawing our attention is called meditation, and we can learn it under the
guidance of a spiritual Master. Meditation is the process of experiencing God’s
love for ourselves by taking our attention away from the world outside and
focussing it within.
Doing so, allows us to defocus from the turmoil of our
surroundings and connect with the source of all love, all joy, which is God.
Meditation is the highest form of prayer and unlocks the gates to the reservoir
of untapped love that we carry with us. If we spend some time daily within the
silence of our soul, we will be connected with a place of bliss. Then the outer
circumstances of our life will not affect us.
The real reason to meditate is, in fact, a spiritual reason. It is to reap the spiritual benefits of the practice. Meditation helps us become aware of our spiritual nature, which is our true essence. Once we become aware of our spiritual nature, we also gain knowledge of God, and then everything else in life falls into place
Next, the saints teach us to lead ethical lives, wherein we
learn to be truthful, non-violent, compassionate, kind, and selfless. In doing
so, we will gradually find that our lives are transformed. We will realize the
oneness of God’s creation and strive to work not just for ourselves but also
for the greater good. As we introduce meditation and ethical living into our
lives, one step at a time, we find that our attention remains focused on God
and the bliss and joy of the inner regions.
We will uncover the inner strength to overcome our
difficulties and stay happy and peaceful despite the turmoil surrounding us.
