By Dr. Archan Mehta
Meditation is not about
Disrupting the assembly.
In fact, meditation helps
To heal our wounds.
Meditation allows you
To escape momentarily
From the stressors of life.
In this sense, meditation
Is deliverance:
Meditation is the sweet
And gentle caress of
A mother for her baby.
Meditation is the freedom
You find in the
Middle of a storm.
Meditation allows you
To float on a cloud.
Through meditation,
One finds inner peace,
Which stays the same
Throughout day and night
And travels smoothly
During life’s transitions.
Meditation is a feeling
And a conscious awareness
Of this passing moment.
Meditation is an
Untold drama which unfolds
Like a warm, security blanket.
Meditation allows you
To experience the
Here and now.
Meditation is the taste
Of eternity on your tongue.
Meditation quenches
Your parched throat and
Satisfies your thirst
For that which is unfathomable.
Meditation is free
Of cost and transcends
Any dollar signs or labels.
The daily practice
Of meditation makes
You feel whole again.
This is because meditation
Is the ground state
Of your being.
Feeling centered, meditation
Then encourages you to
Become whoever you
Want to be
In this big, bad world
Of cut-throat competition
And the rat race.
Finally, meditation
Transports you to a
Higher plane of existence
Where there are possibilities
Instead of rules and prescriptions.
