Why
Meditate
The
condition of most peoples’ minds is wild.
Randomly it jumps from thought to thought, and those thoughts are often
of things the thinker would rather not have in their head, thoughts that
are often detrimental, cause a bad mental state, and even a bad physical
state. The incessant flowing of these (often negative) thoughts is hard
to control and the harder one tries to control them the more likely they
are to occur.
The
mind gets habituated to these thoughts and reinforces them with more of
the same. In this way the untrained mind, like a wild monkey, becomes
master over its owner (you), and, if you are amongst the majority that
are occupied with thoughts of a negative quality, the wild monkey mind
is generally running your life way below what you are capable of.
Often
we are not even fully aware of all the thoughts we have throughout the
day. They run as mental noise in the background, but as they do, they
affect our psychological and physical states. They colour our lives
according to their quality, and as we go through life, that colour
deepens. With meditation, this changes. With meditation
the truth of things becomes clear. With meditation the flow of
unwanted thoughts will start to slow down and lessen. In time the mind
will become clear, tranquil, still.
