title :
People in this modern materialistic world are prone to suffer from stress, emotional
imbalance, anxiety, frustration and anger. It leads to many physical ailments, disturbed
relationships and road rage. Many broken homes, accidents and suicides are due to
this mental turmoil. The only panacea for this is ‘meditation'. A simple description of
meditation is to sit silently with closed eyes and focus on breathing. It may or may
not be accompanied by music. It helps one to connect with deep inner self and raises
the level of consciousness. The first effort may not be perfect but with regular practice,
one masters the technique. Then the results start unfolding! It leads to peace of mind,
better concentration, clarity of thought and complete relaxation. The situations do not
change but it changes our reactions and attitude to these. One learns to be calm and
grounded in all circumstances and surrender to divine control. Gratitude takes the
place of complaints and love replaces resentments. It is then that circumstances begin
to change. Life is a beautiful gift of God but one becomes thankful for it only after
practising meditation. The result is a calm and serene individual.​
