Meditation
In the present era there is an almost obsessive tendency for human endeavour to be completely concerned with outside activities. Everything in society, from television to advertising, is orientated towards outside aspiration. Our education is such that it only commends and aims for outer success in work or business. Moreover, any tendency to introspect is regarded as abnormal.
The result is imbalance in our lives. We have no idea what is going on inside us, how our minds function and where we are going on our life’s journey. Modern life tends to create intellectual giants but emotional pygmies; instead of wisdom we encourage factual knowledge. This is one of the main reasons why there is so much mental turmoil and dissatisfaction.
Meditation helps to rectify this imbalance, so that, whilst continuing our daily life and duties, we also delve into ourselves and start to understand how we function and who we are.
