Meditation For Inner Peace

and Social Harmony

by Dada Rainjitananda

In this vast Universe…

…there are so many galaxies, stars and planets

…and amongst them

The planet Earth In this planet there are so many beings,

Undeveloped and developed beings

…amongst them…

…human beings

Every being, every entity has a characteristic of its own.

The cause of its existence The essential factor that keeps it alive,

that makes it exist. It may be a developed entity or any

element, take for example:

Fire

What is the essential characteristic of fire?

What is the reason for its existence?

To burn. It exists because… …it burns

Human Beings

What is the essential characteristic of human beings?

Human life

What is human life for?What are human beings searching for?The Yogis say:Happiness, lovePeace

Bliss

How much of that? How much of happiness / peace do we

want? How many minutes, hours or days?

Are the people finding that peace and happiness?

What is the difficulty?

The senses The mind

For how long are the senses pleased?

Eyes – Movie – 2 hours Ears – Music CD – 1 hour Feeling – roller coaster ride – 10 min Taste – Ice Cream – 5 min Smell – Flower – 10 sec The senses have a limited capacity to satisfy

What is Meditation

It is a system to develop the human mind in all aspects

To attain harmony, inner peace and happiness.

The Human Mind

In YOGIC science the mind is divided into layers

The First Layer The

Conscious Mind

The Second Layer

The Subconscious Mind

The Superconscious Mind Third Layer: Supramental – intuition,

creativity Fourth Layer: Subliminal – conscience and

non-attachment 3. Fifth Layer: the golden layer.

How to reach there?

The Microcosm and …The human being

…the Macrocosm The Cosmic Consciousness

Mental Expansion The microcosm is like a drop of water The Macrocosm is like the ocean When the microcosm thinks of the

Macrocosm… …human mind expands to infinite

The “Mantra” Thinking about the Infinite… … the Macrocosm, … the Cosmic Consciousness. It is a thought or a word which expands the

mind …calms the mind …and liberates it from limitations

MANTRA

Meditating with a mantra helps the mind to reach the deeper layers

Regular practice is a must to attain progress in Meditation.

How does meditation affects the society?

By expanding the mind the feeling of Universalism is awakened.

The feeling of closeness with everyone and everything.

Meditation changes the individual psychology and the social psychology.

Social Psychology

To build a society, there are two distinct psychologies.

One is service psychology, which inspires people to promote collective interest.

The second is group psychology, which only tries to promote the limited interest of a small group.

Those who are guided by group psychology want to establish the authority of their group and impose their interests on others.

This leads to inter-personal and inter-group conflict.

Only the psychology of service, the synthetic approach leads to unity and cohesion amongst numerous individuals and groups.

What is the best psychology?

• The idea to promote the welfare of the universe.

Human society

…is one and…

…indivisible

For psychic progress and to make the mind light we take the idea of “Universal welfare”…

And for Self-Realization we meditate on the Universal Consciousness with the help of a Mantra.

This is the formula of the path of bliss.
