MR. MODI\u2019S MEDITATION AND WHY MEDITATION NEEDED ? – By N.S.Venkataraman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"N.S.Venkataraman\"Ever since Indian Prime Minister Narendra\u00a0 Modi \u00a0\u00a0recently \u00a0meditated in Kanyakumari in southern tip of India\u00a0 for 48 hours, the concept of meditation has become subject of debate and animated discussion not only in India but in other\u00a0 parts of the world\u00a0 as well. While the sworn critics of Mr. Modi called his meditation \u00a0exercise as a mere photo shoot , \u00a0\u00a0discerning observers do not share such negative view and think that it is a meaningful and significant\u00a0 mental\u00a0 exercise of\u00a0 Mr. Modi , that should not be belittled\u00a0 and such belittling certainly\u00a0 amount to uncharitable criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n

For thousands of years, deep thinkers\u00a0 \u00a0all over the world have resorted to prolonged meditation\u00a0 from time to time , observing silence\u00a0 and\u00a0 with detached outlook , to understand the concept of human life , particularly introspecting on the origin of birth and destination after death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the concept of meditation\u00a0 has been evolved and \u00a0advocated\u00a0 for over several centuries in India apart from\u00a0 prayer to God in equal measure, \u00a0, it appears that \u00a0in other parts of world, \u00a0resorting to prayer \u00a0to God \u00a0\u00a0has been stressed,, \u00a0much more than the meditation exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Difference between meditation and prayer<\/u>:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is subtle difference between meditation and prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of meditation, the upper most thought in\u00a0 mind is the query about origin and end of life and \u00a0\u00a0with sustained efforts to discover the TRUTH\u00a0 within oneself.\u00a0 The meditation exercise lead one to conclude as to how futile is the life process itself , leading to the view that \u00a0chasing material benefits\u00a0 in life process \u00a0is\u00a0\u00a0 similar to the \u00a0act of chasing the shadow endlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Meditation enable\u00a0 individual \u00a0to \u00a0feel the bliss\u00a0 of\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Superior Force.\u00a0 which\u00a0 \u00a0some\u00a0 deep thinkers\u00a0 say is within . Certainly, the meditation exercise with deep introspection enable the person to \u00a0\u00a0develop a feeling of detachment over the happenings around \u00a0\u00a0and shed the ego and facilitate \u00a0a mindset\u00a0 with \u00a0ill will for none.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, when prayers are offered by individuals in temples, mosques, churches or gurudwaras, the concept is one of total surrender to the Almighty ,praying for removing hardships\u00a0 and \u00a0providing benefits in life process and ultimately praying for reaching the feet of God\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The subtle difference\u00a0\u00a0 between meditation and prayer is\u00a0 that \u00a0during meditation, the individual undergoes a deep thought process to understand the\u00a0 \u201c facts of life\u201d\u00a0 and\u00a0 elevating the thought process to a very high level. There is no self interest while meditating .In the case of those who offer prayer , there is generally an element of self interest\u00a0 too, even as religions advocate that prayers combined with a virtuous life\u00a0 is the way forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Way to attain mental peace<\/u>\u00a0:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The philosophy\u00a0 of Hindu religion and\u00a0 philosophy of other religions do not ask individuals to sit on meditation or offer prayers all the time in life. But, on the other hand, what religions advocate is to lead a life of goodwill for everyone that will lead to mental peace\u00a0 and \u00a0\u00a0enable the individual to attain a feeling of BLISS ( what is called as Ananda in Hindu religious text).<\/span><\/p>\n

While prayer to God \u00a0is one way of striving for mental peace , meditation is the other and possibly superior and\u00a0 more intense way of achieving this mental state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachings of Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi on meditation :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bhagawan Sri\u00a0 Ramana Maharshi, one of the great Hindu philosophers who lived in 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century and stayed in Thiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, India almost throughout his life , told everyone to introspect and meditate on \u201cwho am I \u201c.<\/span><\/p>\n

This introspection\u00a0 should be \u00a0the single \u00a0and only\u00a0 theme\u00a0 while carrying out the meditation exercise.\u00a0 During meditation\u00a0 time, certainly, the mind is not closed , as human mind cannot be closed at all at any time. Instead of attempting to close the mind, the next possible step is to introspect on who am I , during which thought process , the events in the world are not focused and the focus is on understanding and realizing \u201cultimate truth\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Need to cultivate meditation practice :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In human life, the matter\u00a0 of utmost importance is to target to attain mental peace ,which is not possible if one were to focus all the time \u00a0\u00a0throughout the life\u00a0 on \u00a0pursuing a target to achieve material benefits or physical pleasure. However, it is futile to expect that any normal\u00a0 human can lead a life without looking for such material oriented targets to be achieved in life time,\u00a0 for whatever it is worth.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, even with the\u00a0\u00a0 materially oriented life process, an attempt can be made to reach a state of mental peace too. For this to happen and as one gets advanced in the ageing process when the crave for mental peace become more intense and dislike for material benefits become more pronounced , elevation of mind to higher level \u00a0become vital. This cannot be done suddenly\u00a0 in \u00a0\u00a0advanced \u00a0age\u00a0 without cultivating meditation as a practice from young age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, it is necessary that everyone should make meditation as a regular exercise\u00a0 in everyday life for a few minutes or more and tune the mind to think on higher plane.\u00a0 In other\u00a0 words,\u00a0 meditation exercise\u00a0\u00a0 can commence at any time in life, even when one is young. This meditation exercise has to become a regular practice , with clear realization about the value of meditation and its significance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Modi\u2019s meditation :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After\u00a0 addressing more than 200 public meetings and participating in nearly more than 70 road shows and giving more than 60 interviews to media houses during the recent election campaign in India, India\u2019s Prime Minister\u00a0\u00a0 Modi went for meditation \u00a0\u00a0for 48 hours, \u00a0sitting in Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari , where the great Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda meditated over one hundred years back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Modi could not have found time in his very busy day today schedule \u00a0\u00a0to introspect\u00a0 by sustained meditation \u00a0\u00a0and must have decided to give himself 48 hours exclusively for meditation \u00a0, \u00a0after completing\u00a0 the intense election campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, Mr. Modi wanted to detach himself from the worldly affairs by meditation\u00a0 focusing on higher aspects of life process, with deep introspection about the ultimate purpose of life. Certainly, Mr. Modi is entitled to act as per his inner call for meditation \u00a0like any\u00a0 other persons. Questioning Mr. Modi\u2019s meditation by others\u00a0 is unwarranted.<\/span><\/p>\n

After meditating , Mr.\u00a0 Modi has returned back to normal life but still this meditation exercise must have brought in his mindset a greater determination to do universal\u00a0 good for every man and woman\u00a0 and other creatures \u00a0and lead a life\u00a0 with \u00a0ill will for none.<\/span><\/p>\n

The one criticism which seems to have impressd some people is as to why\u00a0 Mr. Modi permitted\u00a0 to be photographed while sitting on meditation exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The possible explanation would be that Mr. Modi wanted to spread the message about the importance of meditation , so that others\u00a0\u00a0 would follow\u00a0 and emulate him.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong\u00a0\u00a0 about such an objective.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this connection, it should be noted that when Mr. Modi launched Clean India Campaign, he took the broom himself and started cleaning the ground. to set a\u00a0 personal example.\u00a0 When Mr. Modi launched yoga programme , he\u00a0 himself participated in the yoga exercise. , On both these occasions, Mr.Modi was photographed \u00a0which was\u00a0 widely publicized , , obviously\u00a0 with the view to spread the message ,\u00a0 so\u00a0\u00a0 that others can emulate him,.<\/span><\/p>\n
