Living a life of repentance, achieved by eliminating your mind through meditation, charts the course toward spiritual and mental growth, steering us toward becoming grounded and wise. The more we liberate our minds from clutter, the more our true and wise selves emerge from within. The source is within us—it's just a matter of uncovering it, a treasure within.
The questions and answers were all within me. Through meditation, I was able to see the negative mind that was covering the positive mind and learned how to throw it away. To plant new trees, we cut off the branches of the tree, cut down the pillars, and pull out the roots. After that, we can plant new trees. We need that process, too.
All thanks to meditation. As the mind cleared up more, it is easier to be grateful and happy over basic things like water, sun, simple meals, electricity.
A sound mindset goes something like this: Life is not here to fight us. We don’t have to defend ourselves against life. Instead, life is a benevolent force that through circumstances, people, and challenges guides us towards growth. Everything happens for a reason, every person is there for a reason, and everything is perfect. Every moment is a chance for us to grow and ultimately realize our true (higher) self.
“Do what you’ll enjoy, something that will make you smile.” What’s the point of working in a renowned company and making millions every year if you can’t smile or enjoy what you do? It would be torture, not work. And you can try and make the result of that torture look nice but people can always tell because that is the truth.
All I did was discard the root of my mind that is embedded in my body. How wonderful it is to change the way of life! The secret was meditation for me. Now I am free from all the habits.
The reason why we suffer after failing is because we feel ashamed (i.e. our pride is hurt), and/or we feel like we’ve missed out on an opportunity in life (this is due to our inferiority complex/greed). Through meditation we can get rid of our pride, inferiority complex, and greed. The more we do this, the less we will get hung up in situations where things don’t go as we had hoped.
Successful people have already realized the importance of reflecting on their inner selves and managing their minds in their lives. Meditation is to reflect on yourself. A person who grows rapidly is a person who is able to look back on oneself. It is essential to take time to evaluate how I lived and what I need to improve for succeeding and improving myself.
If you meditate by throwing away your mind, the dark minds will gradually be peeled off and the inner peace that originally existed will be revealed. It is our right to be at peace within ourselves. Because it is a gift from the Universe we are born with.
By discarding my false minds and self-centered delusions via meditation, my habit of overthinking reduced tremendously. I became more grounded, open and accepting. Meditation also created so much space in my mind - and it is this clear mindset that helped me better all of the above.
