It is “Meditation” for me.
We wander in search of many things in our lives such as delicious foods, beautiful scenery, a good house to live in, romantic love, a good car, etc. Many things make our minds flutter.
But ultimately, people say, they want is to live happily forever without death. So, people who have a lot of difficulties in life may wish to go to heaven or paradise after death. But they are not sure whether they will go there.
It was the same for me. Life seemed to be full of unreasonable things, and I had always many questions, doubts, and curiosities in my mind. While living in a world full of uncertainty, I also had stress, pain, and burden. I still remember, when I was in college, One of my friends looked at me one day and said, “Why do you seem to be living with such a heavy burden?”. Probably it was the reason why I wanted to find a solution in life. I went to different religious places to search for it. I thought that everything would be resolved if I found the Truth and had wisdom. But it was difficult to find a method to find the Truth. Through one of my senior friends, I came to know the method ‘Meditation’ by chance. Through over a year of practicing meditation, I found the Truth that I just imagined and dreamed of before. At first, It was unbelievable that it came true.
However, even after finding the truth, I wandered around a lot. Perhaps it was not easy to live the life of Truth even if I knew the Truth. It is because I had a habit in your mind. It was shameful that I saw myself not living the life of Truth properly even though I knew the Truth. Even if I felt great happiness of enlightenment in the beginning, I made many wrong decisions and mistakes due to the habit for quite a long time. It is a shame to say “it is a mistake” So, I was not free from negative feelings such as depression, loneliness, and guilt. As time passed by, only after knowing how to get rid of that human habits, I could see big changes within me. So then, I could feel really happy and grateful while living a life of Truth.
When reflecting on my experience through meditation, humans seem to have a lot of sins. So, we don’t have a thankful mind. Likely, we don’t know what gratitude is. I think that’s why I have to train myself to fill my heart with gratitude. And I ended up knowing I could find the true meaning and happiness in life only when I had gratitude.
These days, when we see young kids, some of them seem to have been born with excellent spiritual abilities. They are called “Crystal Children”. I also have a niece who has an extraordinary mind. Whenever I saw her, I felt that the word suits her. My niece lives nearby my parents. One day I met her on a street while taking a walk around the town. I was very happy to see her by chance. So I asked, “Would you like to have some ice cream?” She said “Yes”. So, We went into an ice cream shop together. After we picked some ice creams, we went to a cashier. Then, I was about to pay for them. But my niece who is in the second grade of elementary school, said to me, “I know you don’t have money. “This is on me.” My little niece probably thought that this uncle didn’t afford to buy the ice creams due to my tight budget. I was working as a volunteer in an NGO in Africa for many years by that time. When I look back on my childhood, I think that rarely can we see a girl who has such a considerate mind at the age of eight in 2nd grade in elementary schoo
I think the world will become heaven when each one of us wakes up and these children grow up and lighten the world with this beautiful heart of Truth.
After I found the Truth and live in this living world. I feel like I’m one of the most fortunate because I have found the most precious thing in the world. Life in the living world is the one beyond that level that I ever experienced before. It is a life that I imagined occasionally in my life. I hope that everyone finds the truth and the world of Truth in their mind, and lives happily ever. Meditation is the way to find and live the life that everyone dreamed of ideally through religion, philosophy, and ideology.
If you meditate, you can become the “crystal children” as well. Maybe you should be called “crystal adults”.
Change your mind, Better yourself.
