The question is typical of the contemporary man reared in an age of unbridled science. The need for integrating various aspects of our personality is obvious in our case. The physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual personalities must all be blended into one harmonious whole. Meditation is the technique of achieving this harmony. It is the highest spiritual discipline. Be regular. Be sincere. Be pure. Meditation can never fail. Failures in meditation bring greater success in life. Sincerity and regularity are the secrets of success in mediation.
If you are ready for meditation, the best mantra to chant is no doubt the Gayatri Mantra
“ Om Bhur-Bhuva-Swah Om Tat-Savitar-Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat”
This mantra never chanted for the purpose of material gains, physical or otherwise. Its very invocation concludes with an appeal to the pure consciousness to illumine more our heart-that is a prayer unto the self to unveil itself and come to manifest as pure wisdom in our life.
A meditator should live a strictly ethical and moral life. It is an unavoidable necessity. It is not a mere control of sex life. It is to be understood as a perfect and all-round self control; even to eat more, to talk loosely or to listen to scandals-in short any excessive indulgence, through any of the sense organs, would be the breaking of law.
You can now experience a godly peace and divine silence descending upon you wrapping your heart in folds of supreme joy. Remain in that position as long as you can. True meditation can bring out of any ordinary man, an incomparable genius. Therefore do meditate and grow. Suggestions for becoming a good meditator
Sleep only 6 hours a day
Get up at 4am
Increase the time of meditation slowly and steadily
Read books on lives of great masters
Chant Gayatri Mantra during meditation
Observe silence at least 2 hours(continuous) a day
Do undertake a day fast once in a month
Keep away the anger
Say no to evil habits
