{ **Raw Spirituality -> Truth minus Noises ; based on personal experiences over the years while being on Spiritual Journey at Enlightenment & You** }
“The thing about meditation is that You become more & more you.”– David Lynch
As a beginner , just before you actually start meditating , a basic question that your mind loves to pop up is “Is there really something called meditation ? In case it exists ,does it really work or it’s just a fairy tale made famous by some so called mystics ?”
Eventually, after getting some knowledge (only Knowledge & NOT the experience yet), you get convinced that yes, Meditation is very much a reality and that once you start meditating, all your queries ,doubts will get answered automatically .
However the contrary happens . Few days /months into meditation , only the ‘Kind’ of questions raised by your brain change, but quantum of doubts keeps on increasing .
Since you are putting sincere efforts , you follow proper techniques (at least you think so ) ,obviously you expect results and when same aren’t delivered , you get little depressed thinking “Oh it’s not working, may be it’s not meant for me, may be I am not the chosen one “.
Lets try to figure out what exactly is happening by taking reference of statements made by people in the above described situation : –
# 1. When one say start meditating ,what exactly has to be done ?
You don’t have to do anything .Just sit for meditation ,with your eyes closed or open whatever way it suits you (though initially I would recommend with closed eyes). So remember the thumb rule for meditation – daily just sit & do nothing for few minutes !
When I say do nothing, it means no action in thoughts as well.However that doesn’t implies that you start controlling or stopping your thoughts while meditating ,No, it’s just not possible. What I mean is to try to gradually slow down the jugglery of mind to the minimum.
# 2. “I have been trying to do meditation but nothing is happening despite my sincere efforts.”
-> Nothing will happen.No magic is gonna happen. In fact the very purpose of Meditation is to converge towards this nothingness ( Shunya / Zero). So don’t expect anything.
Always remember the basic rule of Meditation – Don’t seek anything , just be ! Just keep on doing meditation ,accepting it as a mandatory routine without thinking of ” What will I get in return ?”. Besides stop ‘trying’ to meditate, daily just sit & do nothing for few minutes !
# 3. “I sit quietly in the lotus posture for long duration still I am not getting the peace of mind.”
-> Well that’s because you are doing a kind of trade here by seeking the peace in return of doing meditation.It’s like you are making a conscious effort to achieve something while pretending to be seated & doing nothing.It doesn’t work like that . This sub conscious & desperate desire to be peaceful is exactly what is stopping you from to be the one.
Keep on sitting in Dhyan ,as the self enlightenment gradually seeps in, the feeling of peace ,joy & blissfulness will definitely prevail .But don’t make this peace or joyful state as your goal.As I have told you , daily just sit & do nothing for few minutes .
# 4. “I meditate regularly yet I am unable to manage my Anger.”
-> Stop managing your anger as in any case ,it’s just impossible to manage it from outside.You might suppress your anger for say 20 days by stating to yourself that oh,since I am doing meditation so I don’t have the right to be angry anymore, but it will eventually come out as volcano on day 21st for sure as the only way out is in & not the otherwise .
Just keep on meditating , eventually , as your inner world start making you realize the realities ,all these strong emotions of hatred ,anger etc. will automatically fade away. Till then , daily just sit & do nothing for few minutes.
# 5.“Will meditation be of any help when practiced while living a married life?”
->Just because you cannot stand first in the class that does not mean that you should not join the school.
In the journey to the peak enlightenment , probably yes, you need to lead a life of ‘Vairagya’ because ultimately you are breaking all the boundations of this physical world and looking beyond that but for people who want to do meditation but are already married or want to get married ,there is absolutely no problem because being on this path itself will liberate you to some extent ,if not fully . This way , by the time you will reach the retirement age, you would be already half way there on your journey to liberation while most people will have to start a fresh then. So , married or unmarried , daily just sit & do nothing for few minutes .
Remember one thing, there is no fixed duration as to when the meditation will bear fruits .It can’t be fixed since it’s an out an out individual journey.Yes, the technique might be more or less the same , but the journey will be different, a unique for every individual seeking truth.
So folks , Keep on meditating !

See, Spiritual journey is largely an individual thing as everyone will have to take one’s own path ,there are absolutely no two opinions about that.However we can always help people to get started just like somebody inspired us all who are already on this path.That’s I always request to share / reblog/ repost any spiritual write up which you think might help the beginners.But once a person get started and hold on for sometime, after that, the Guru inside takes over and you no longer need any motivation.

Of course! And thank you! I’m actually a little confused with what you mean by your first question when you ask me if all your posts will be published by the Millionaire’s Digest because we don’t control what you can and can’t post. We only control what we will and will not let pass to be published on the Millionaire’s Digest. For your second question about sending links, the answer is no, you don’t have to do that. For your final question, you will receive a private application form in which you will be given a whole week to plan, write, and send us a new article before the end of the week is over. (You will know what day and, date this will happen at the very beginning of the month as I mentioned before in the above comment.) Please let me know if this helps answers your questions.
Sincerely,
K&L

Dear Rahull,
I’m K&L, the Founder & CEO of the Millionaire’s Digest Magazine, and I recently received your application requesting to become a writer for our magazine, and so this is just a my letter to you to let you know that I have completely looked over and have accepted you to become a writer for our Blogging, Family & Life, and Travel Magazine!
Now what happens next is that there is nothing that really happens next. Another words, there is no invitation or email that you have to go and check as the invitation for our magazine is only sent out 12 times a year which always happens at the beginning of the month. (Usually the first day.)
This is just my letter to you as the CEO, just to let you know that I have accepted your request and have added you to our list full of magazine writers who I send the invitations out to every month.
The only thing that changes now is that at the beginning of every month, you will want to make sure to check your email as you will receive your invitation which will include the following:
-Announcements on the next magazine edition(s) that we are coming out with.
-Instructions on the magazine(s) such as how and where to go to submit your articles.
-The deadline on when the last day is to turn in your articles. (Usually 7 days prior the date after the invitation is sent out, that way everyone has a full week to get their articles written out, rather than just one day.)
-Who the magazine(s) are for. (Which magazine writers they are for.)
-The private form to submit your articles.
-How long your articles need to be.
-And everything else that I know you are going to want to ask me about.
Other than that, if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome to ask me and I will kindly make sure to help get them answered for you.
If not, than I hope you have a nice rest of the day, and thank you!
Sincerely,
K&L
Millionaire’s Digest Magazine Founder & CEO

This is a great Post. I harbour the same beliefs while meditating and often have to bring myself back to the perception that its a journey and not a destination. My only problem is that I am impatient and often find my mind wandering and then returning back.
Thanks for this!
