What is meditation? Mind without agitation is meditation. Mind in the present moment is meditation. Mind that has no hesitation, no anticipation is meditation. Mind that has come back home, to the source, is meditation. Mind that becomes "no mind" is meditation. Deeper you are able to rest, dynamic you will be in activity. Even though deep rest and dynamic activity are opposite values, they are complementary. Before the body leaves you, you learn to leave everything. That is freedom. What are you looking for? Are you looking for some great joy? YOU ARE JOY! I will give you an example. Have you seen dogs biting bones? You know why they bite bones? Biting wounds their mouth. Its own blood comes out and the dog feels that the bone is very tasty! Poor dog spends the whole time chewing the bone but getting nothing out of it! Any joy you experience in life is from the depth of your self, when you let go all that you hold on to and settle down being centered in that space. That is called meditation. Actually, meditation is not an act; it is the art of doing nothing! The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest sleep that you can ever have because in meditation you transcend all desires. Meditation is letting go of anger from the past and all the planning for the future. Meditation is accepting this moment and living every moment totally with depth. Just this understanding, and a few days of continuous practice of meditation can change the quality of our life. The best comparison of the three states of consciousness-waking, sleeping and dreaming-is with the nature. Nature sleeps, awakes and dreams! It happens in a magnificent scale in existence, and it is happening in a different scale in the human body. Wakefulness and sleep are like sunrise and darkness. Dream is like the twilight in between. And meditation is like the flight to the outer space, where there is no sunset, no sunrise, nothing! I am sure that deep within, every one of you feel that you have not grown, meaning you have not changed, not grown old. This indicates the soul in you, the depth in you, the spirit in you doesn't change, doesn't grow old, it's not aging. The body is aging but something in you is not aging. Getting in touch with that something that doesn't age brings beauty in life. That is meditation. Well, The above message about donating your eyes to a blind person after your death is really something that we should all think about.. I dont know about any of you, -But I am a registered organ donor..Most of us take our vision for granted but imagine giving this gift to someone who has never seen a rainbow or the face of his or her loved one..After we die, our family will as it is burn this bliss to ashes..Lets give this gift of vision to someone who will enjoy it for the rest of his /her life and thus be alive in the true sense.. Sai bhakt, Deepa H Sunrise, Sunset, Twinkling stars, Blue occean, Greenery, Flowers, Snow covered mountains , Fresh air and the sound of the holy chants and bells in a temple are the things which make me happy in a true sense.. These are the things which have always made me salute God's imagination .. They made me have faith in His Goodness, Purity and above all in His plans for me.. I hope and I pray that our hearts are as beautiful and divine as the Most Amazing world that He has created for us..... Sai Bhakt, Deepa H I guess this is how it really means when I say- I feel like I am on top of the world-- hahaha  @ Grignone, Bergamo Alps, Italy Quote of BABA: When you surrender at the feet of Sai Samarth in act, speech and thought, then dharma, artha, kama and Moksha (the four ends of human life) come into the hands automatically... When the rich, fertile soil of the mind is sprinkled with the water of devotion, renunciation sprouts; knowledge blossoms; kaivalya comes to fruition; and the rapture thereof, bursts forth. Avoiding of birth and death is then a certainty.
