MEDITATION it's advantage and disadvantage – Dr. Harbhajan Singh
The subject of meditation is directly connected with the purpose of human life, the development of the consciousness – the soul or spirit in man. Nowadays, meditation is done like breakfast is taken. Some people meditate to fulfil their wishes, some meditate for peace of mind. Some people meditate to gain riches in the world, name and fame. Some people do it only for the building of the body, to get rid of the diseases. Some people make a show of their meditation, there are mesmerism, spiritism, spiritualism, there are hundreds of branches out of it, and they have nothing to do with spirituality on the contrary they are dangerous traps for the soul. Some meditate to acquire supernatural powers, some meditate to influence others, and some people meditate for salvation. With these aims, however, one stays on the level of mind and cannot reach the plane of consciousness. There are a thousand ways of meditation, which will not take us anywhere. So it is of great importance to find out what is that meditation, which will transcend us above the body consciousness and take us back to home eternal. Which is that meditation, which provides us the water of Life and bread of Life?
