Transcendency

de Maria

em 05 Mai 2008

   A being who enterprises the task of knowing himself, will recognize that feelings such as melancholy, discouragement, anger, revolt and many others are inferior and emotionally destroy the mind and corrode the heart. Facing this discovery he finds in himself the reason to destroy those feelings. This means being Conscious. And every time these kinds of feelings arise, they simply must be banished from the mind.

The termination of limitations and reaching higher states of human and spiritual being are profound reasons to meditate. Meditation clarifies the mind and makes it easier for us to find out our own obstacles.
One learns to be self sufficient from this integration of Consciousness, not blaming others for our individual frustrations and disgraces and thus understanding that suffering is caused by our own mind, which eventually may become sick. All illnesses derive from the mind, caused in this or previous lives.*
Meditation strengthens and structures the brain, since quieting the mind and through silence, the brain has the chance to establish its rhythm and assure a healthy mind. Most people’s mind is chaotic, always thinking, drowned in confusion. In a calm mind, lucidity and noblesse of thought stand out, issuing a major equilibrium and contributing to the consequent expansion of consciousness. Therefore, transcendency is a sign of inner strength, growth, mental, psychological and spiritual qualifying.

Evolution or expansion of consciousness may also be processed by lightning, as sudden moments of mental clarity, comprising momentary understandings, so clear and penetrating that they remain in Consciousness as a given fact, which constitutes an act of self-realization. This search for realization which consists of divesting, detachment and renunciation, develops values or virtues which overcome all obstacles and appearances. Detachment is the required condition in the spiritual life, whether from external objects or mundane delusions or whether from oneself being deceived in concepts, pride, ambitions and self-conceit.
Divesting or detachment from desires means liberation from the desire’s oppression. However, it requires a long way where desires disappear by sublimation, ceasing one to be their slave. Renunciation consists of freeing ourselves from everything superfluous.
All Indian philosophies, including Buddhism, speak of this transcendency through the integration of incresased awareness. In the Yoga-Sūtras we find that it is by concentration through samyama that afflictions are destroyed; in Advaita Vedānta it is by becoming aware of Brahman, God; in Jainism it is by conscious renunciation of desires, and in Buddhism it is through mindfulness that we end all suffering, here and now.

Concluding, Meditation is the safe and transparent way to spiritual realization. It is safe because it depends only on each one, by being honest with oneself in a correct attitude towards life. It is always “at hand” to be used when necessary; it does not depend on time and space, requiring only firmness towards the objective, which is the Divine Union. Transparent, because it is free from ritual, dogmatic doctrines, mental and spatial conditioning and is open to remote horizons that transcend the fetters and conflicting problems of earthly life. It leads to the freedom of self-realization, where Realization leads to Liberation.
I quote some brief passages on Meditation included in some of my other books:
“Meditation: its practice produces a potent tonic which revitalizes all cells, since it provides a fountainhead of vibrations from one’s own Higher Being and Spirit, which by irradiation of beneficial energies, lifts and fortifies the mind, awakening Divine wisdom. Meditation constitutes a form of controlling one’s own energetic flux, allowing the realization of the correct relationship between mind and God”.

“God may manifest Himself in beings through different ways and according to their degree of consciousness.
