Dynamic Meditation

1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:05,100
In the bhagavad-gita Arjuna
poses, the question to Shri

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:09,200
Krishna as to how one can know
the spiritual, man.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,900
How does he walk?
How does he speak?

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,900
How does he act Spiritual
practitioners, post, similar

5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:21,500
types of questions about
meditation as to what is the

6
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,800
right form of meditation.
How does one sit?

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,600
How does one act how does one
carry out the meditation?

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,300
Shri krishna's answer to Arjuna
was that it was not the external

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:39,100
form, but the internal substance
that determined the truth.

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,000
It is similarly, the inner
aspiration, the motivation of

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,300
the Seeker, who meditates that
determines the effectiveness of

12
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:52,800
the meditation.
Meditation does not mean.

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,500
That one should simply sit and
let anything happen that comes

14
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:59,000
up.
And then when the time is up,

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,500
the individual gets up and
nothing has changed or been

16
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,500
transformed.
In his life, meditation is not

17
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,600
simply to withdraw from
activity.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,100
A question that can be asked, is
whether the individual is the

19
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,500
same after the meditation as
before the meditation.

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,500
What has changed in fairness?
Some types of meditation will,

21
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,400
of course, not bear.
Obvious fruit after a single

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,700
attempt, So one can look back
and see whether after any period

23
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:36,700
of time, one day or one week or
one month, Etc.

24
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:41,500
The meditation has made the
individual more reflective, more

25
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:47,200
insightful, more compassionate,
more understanding, more in

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
tune, with the Divine Purpose of
his life.

27
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,500
If it is not moving, the Seeker
forward in the spiritual

28
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,100
practice, then it is simply a
static exercise.

29
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,600
As that may help, relax the
individual, but does not go much

30
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,300
farther.
The dynamic form of meditation

31
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,600
will have a transformative
effect and that is how one can

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,500
see the difference.
Over time, a disciple asks, how

33
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,200
is it done?
Is it done in a different way?

34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,200
The mother observes.
I think it is.

35
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
The aspiration that should be
different.

36
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,300
The attitude should be different
different way.

37
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,800
What do you mean by way
laughing?

38
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:39,400
The way of fitting, not that the
inner way, if But for each one,

39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,700
it is different.
I think the most important thing

40
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:47,000
is to know why one meditates.
This is, what gives the quality

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
of the meditation and makes it a
one order or another.

42
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,900
You may meditate to open
yourself to the Divine Force.

43
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,000
You may meditate to reject the
ordinary Consciousness.

44
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:03,900
You may meditate to enter the
depths of your being You may

45
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,200
meditate to learn how to give
yourself integrally.

46
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,900
You may meditate for all kinds
of things.

47
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,100
You may meditate to enter into
peace and calm and silence.

48
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:21,100
This is what most people
generally do but without much

49
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,800
success, but you may also
meditate to receive the force of

50
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,400
transformation to discover the
point to be transformed to trace

51
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,300
out the line of progress.
And then you may also meditate

52
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,800
for very practical reasons when
you have a difficulty to clear

53
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
up the solution to find when you
want help in some action or

54
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,700
other.
You may meditate for that, too.

55
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000
I think everyone has his own
motive meditation, but if one

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
wants the meditation to be
dynamic, one must have an

57
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,900
aspiration for progress and the
meditation must be done to help

58
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:06,300
and fulfill this aspiration for
Progress.

59
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:13,400
Then it becomes Dynamic and
