Meditation Is for You

Just try this for ten days.

In ten days, your whole life can't be taken away from you.

In ten days, if everything you have can be taken away from you, then it is not worth having, let it be taken away!

When you work with your spontaneous inner vision, naturally the dilemma, the mental oscillations and mood swings will be much less. Because your decisions arise naturally from your inner space, they won't drain your energy. Your decision-making becomes sharp and straight.

So, just for ten days, don't plan anything. Don't lead life – allow life to lead you! Use your intuition instead of your intellect. Live by your vision instead of your dreams. You will see the power of spontaneity.

Q: Every morning I wake up to the same world. But every night, I don't return to the same dream. Can't this be used as a scale to say that the waking world is real?

Very intelligent question!

This is a wonderful concept which we need to understand and internalize.

Have you ever had an experience in which you have lived fifteen or twenty years in one night's dream, in a span of a few hours? I am sure many of you have experienced this at least once! The dream may start from your college days, and move slowly step by step and move on to your marriage, your having a son, your son's marriage and so on! In this way, you live many years of your life in just one night's dream, am I right?

One more thing: scientists are now saying that you don't sleep continuously at night.

You spend a maximum of 30 minutes in the deep sleep state. Then you go to the dream state and go through some dreams.

Again you fall asleep, spend about half an hour in the deep sleep state, then again you come back to the dream state. In this way you keep moving from the dream state to the deep sleep state and back.

In theVedic Tradition, the maximum deep sleep time is 30 minutes, but in the West they say that it is only 16 minutes.
