Meditation (Dhyana)

Meditation is the cause of creation of this universe.    The scriptures reveal that Lord Brahma was asked to meditate and create this universe by Lord Narayana, the first form of the manifested Absolute.  Hence the Supreme Knowledge of meditation, which was revealed by The Lord himself in various forms to various disciples at different planes of Consciousness, is the seed of Divine Knowledge, Nirvana or Emancipation.


Meditation is a process wherein the natural tendency of the mind and the senses to move towards objects outwards, is made to look within.  In other words it is a procedure to be learnt, to restrain the senses from going berserk in the outer world and realize that the ultimate reality that we seek to know is not in the space above but is Eternal.  The initial process is Pratyahara.  Pratyahara and practice of Dharna (concentration) leads one to the state of meditation.  

 

      The Vedic Scriptures reveal that it is very difficult to get a human birth.  A person has to toil in thousands of species before getting a human form.  Evolution is both forward and backward and is based upon merit of prescribed action to be performed by a particular species as decided by the Creator at the time of creation.   This should make it very clear that the next birth to a human being as a human being is not assured.  The next birth is grossly dependent upon the cumulative merit earned by (a Jiva) an Individualized Soul.  To maintain the efficiency and the cycle of evolution the easiest way to the final beatitude or liberation is Meditation.
