Why rely on meditation when you are feeling weak, frustrated, gruesome? Think about it—what else do you rely on? Meditation is a space of no-thoughts, no mental projections. What makes you weak is only the projection of the mind. Without those projections, there is laughter, fun, and amazement. That’s what people experience in intoxication, but only for a few hours, and not everywhere—you can’t do that in the office, workplace, or public places.
Meditation, on the other hand, gives you confidence. It makes you bulletproof against stress, pain, fear, feelings of loss, missing out, or thoughts like ‘I’m worthless’ or ‘I’m destined to suffer.’
The key point is: you already have this tool, and it is sharp enough. The most important thing is remembrance. If you forget your power, you feel defeated.
My role as a guide is to help you sharpen this tool and remind you whenever you forget. Your role is constant remembrance.
So why do we forget our power so easily in the ups and downs of life? Because we have practiced cribbing and crying for so long that we believe suffering is natural. People around us do the same, and sometimes we even feel proud when we suffer more than others. It becomes a race in the wrong direction—who suffers more, who cries louder.
Weakness comes from negative thoughts, not from the situation itself.
First, understand the connection between mental weakness and thoughts.
Meditation is learning to observe thoughts without getting caught in them. Meditation creates distance between you and your thoughts. Thoughts lose their power when you observe them.
A restless mind has rapid thoughts. As meditation deepens, thoughts become fewer and lighter. A calm mind brings clarity, strength, and peace.
Thoughts are like food for the mind. Meditation helps shift the mind into a calm state by reducing the pressure of thoughts.
