1		Meditation	'Meditation' is for one's consciousness, as 'Medication' is for one's physical body! But, as in medication, in meditation also proper curative inputs should be ingested. Inappropriate medication, instead of curing the disease only creates what is called 'medicine-induced diseases'! These diseases are as much dangerous, if not more, than the old ailments. In like manner, inappropriate meditation will only induce newer maladies in our already unbalanced mind (Consciousness/Psyche). Instead of healing our fractured egoistic self-conscious mind, newer complexities will crop up and increase the neurosis. The individualized human consciousness should get unified with the Universal Consciousness, through the integrating portals of AWARENESS. The stress in human life is due to our stubborn sense of isolation, which one's egoistic mind constantly feels. Such a mind imagines ever so many irrational dangers. Meditation is the inner balancing poise, which should facilitate cure from the above pointed Dis-ease. In medication, one should know when to stop the medicines, so as to allow our body's natural healing capacity to take charge of the healing process. In like manner, one should be sensitive to discern as to when to let go all our efforts, including meditation. Only this can naturally allow our rigid self- consciousness to loosen up and BE vulnerably open. Human will and volition are a hindrance in meditation, after the preliminary stage. Meditation usually commences from a secondary knowledge inputs, but it should soon become sustainable by 'Direct-Knowledge'. This is called in Sanskrit language as 'Gnyan' (Insights). Meditation is called as 'Dhyan' in Sanskrit, which is the original root-word for 'ZEN'. Thus 'Dhyan' (Meditation) should contain 'Gnyan' (Insights/Direct-Knowledge). After the starting stage, the will has no role to play in this realm. Only humility and a sense of surrender can thaw our ego-frost. Even in this, no deliberate put on effort can work. The brutal force of human will and the sly deceptions contained in our pretensions have to stay out. 'Meditation' is neither a noun (Thing), nor it is a verb (Method). Though it is very difficult to teach, a diligent human being can quickly learn and turn meditative!
