Meditation and the Art of Living: The Harmony of Mind, Body, and Spirit
🌞 We do not stop only where the mind stops, but, through meditational practices, we go still further in ourselves to a state beyond the mind. And beyond the mind lies the reservoir of that infinite energy that could be brought through the medium of the subtle mind to the grosser level of the body, whereby the three factors, body, mind and spirit, could operate as a totality.
To really experience this totality, one can never divorce the practical living and action of life from meditation because, in the ideal state of life, one should be meditating or be in a state of meditation twenty-four hours a day. We practice meditation for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening; that is just a start towards this totality and the experiences.
The glimpses we have in that silent state of the mind and body will make us realise from a far deeper level within ourselves that there is something far greater than just that which we know to be the body or the mind, and which is expressed by the five gross physical senses, hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, and touching. Yet there is a greater coordinating factor behind all these senses of ours, and that coordination must be brought to the level of the body so that it can express itself more fully in action.
