Active Meditation

Meditation: the experiment with oneself:

In simplest terms 'meditation' may be defined as a scientific method to explore oneself. It is the deep exploration within. It just conforms to the scientific approach but, it is not science either. Because, science keeps experimenting with external objects but, the meditation is the essence of experience. Initially it is the inward journey through mind. In which mind is the window. The science teaches us to concentrate with the help of mind. However, meditation seeks you to go beyond mind. Osho describes meditation as a subtle art to move into absolute silence. This absolute silent state is 'nothingness'.

The meditation simplified:

The human mind is miraculous. It is the greatest invisible mechanism, which works constantly by way of acts and thoughts. Its speed is enormous that knows no bounds. The capacity of mind is unmatchable and amazing. The mind has innumerable dimensions. Mind is memory, intelligence, wisdom and knowledge. It is closely related to person's action and the whole personality of human being revolves around mind.

Self-realization or absolute bliss:

Thus, the mind is the initial key to start with for meditation. Through its exploration we mean to observe it minutely. It is simply funny to watch your mind through your 'own' mind. The exploration through this constant watch one is attaining a stage of tranquility. Because, once you start observing it, it becomes silent slowly with this practice. Don't be a judge of your mind. Don't pass any comments or judgments. Just keep observing your mind. The very thought process and its subtle emergence and dilution. How, the thoughts come so suddenly, in multiples and how slowly they disappear. The philosophers and great sagas underscored it and got answer to the unrest of human world. They then came up with a simple technique of meditation to calm one's mind. When one succeeds in achieving that silence of mind, he moves beyond the material world. By retaining this state through undeterred practice one accomplishes the self realization or illumination. This is a state of absolute bliss which takes you beyond your own existence!
