The right
meditation The goal A human being has a very short life on earth, even if it lasts for a hundred years. Most people have a relatively good material existence, yet most of us have questions within ourselves that we may or may not be aware of on a conscious level: is it really the meaning of life that we are born, live for a while and then die? Is this really the meaning of life? Or is there something else we are ignorant of? We are looking anxiously for something meaningful. For what? What is it we hope to find in material possessions, in pleasures and in relationships, all transient and perishable and which can all be taken from us at any moment? It is not meant that we should miss material things; that we should relinquish the world of beauty surrounding us. It is not meant either that we should refrain from and reject the material aspect and revert to a primitive stage of development. However, the material aspect should be the means, and not the goal, of our efforts, as it is today. What is it that we really want to find? What are we searching for in life? How do we want to live or to be? Are we longing for stillness, quietness, optimism, strength, peace, happiness, security, comfort and love? All these can be achieved through self-knowledge and the realization of the Devine within ourselves. The kind of security we are striving for today lies mainly on a material, transitory basis. This means that we never actually have any real security at all. Never any real happiness. We may loose our jobs, we may loose our material possessions, and we may loose our beloved ones. We can only reach security within ourselves. How could we build our security on external things, on economical, material aspects, which may be ripped away from us at any moment? Who or what is it that creates, maintains and guides us through our fate? We believe and hope that there exists a divine power, a higher energy closely related to us. What is our relationship to this power (we may call it the creative Divine power)? Can we use it, trust it, and communicate with it? We believe that it is infinitely far away and difficult to reach – even though the creative Divine power is the innermost being of our self. Our true identity is part of this higher energy that permeates and sustains everything. It is divine qualities we are longing for. These belong to our “Divine” spiritual original being. Let it be our goal to gain access to our true being and thereby be reconnected to the Divine power. The Way The original human being – the one we really are – is hardly visible
in our mainly outward oriented daily life. This original conscious human
being is used by the senses, by the ego, by the intellect and the body
solely for the purpose of gaining energy for outer activities. The Creative Divine Power, which is the real original energy of the highest frequency, consisting of SOUND and LIGHT, permeates the whole Universe, the immeasurably wide all-encompassing visible universe and the even more immense invisible universe. When we gain contact with this flow of energy and thus make it our leader, we can reach its origin, which is our own origin as well. To rediscover this, our true being, the home of the soul, is the real meaning of the human life. If we follow this path and connect ourselves more and more to this power, the qualities we are longing for come to us automatically. We could say that they are bi-products making it possible to live a full and rewarding life without fear for illness or sufferings of various nature; a new, higher and perfect life, shortly, our true life that we all consciously or unconsciously wish for. //Sandor A Markus Updated 2007-02-07 |
