Answers
It is said that our life should be like an eye, for the eye has the ability to adjust its power of vision. Whether the object is far away or nearby, the eye adjusts itself in order to get a clear view. So too we should cultivate a mind that is able to adjust itself and be in harmony with any situation in life. This is possible through understanding spirituality. If we are to be in harmony with trying situations there should be peace on our heart.
Only a peaceful heart can be in concord with various situations. This peace ensues from meditation. Amma often says meditation is as valuable as gold. Material prosperity, peace of mind and self-liberation ensue from meditation. The time one devotes to meditation is never wasted.
Now a days we have become like obedient machines. That is not what is needed. We have to become human beings who are alert and discriminating. This alertness and discrimination will arise only from proper spiritual understanding. If ordinary life is like riding vehicles along the highway, spiritual life is like flying in an airplane. The vehicles moving along the road never leave the ground and soar to the heights. However the plane soars up to the sky after moving along the runway for a while. Spiritual life takes us to the heights of experience. When one is in the heights, one gains the power to look upon everything as a detached witness.
