Hello friends. How are you all? I hope you are well. Friends, when I used to go to a meditation center in the beautiful hills of Lonavala near Pune to learn meditation, we were taught to work on our minds there. Our mental states, their effects on our daily life and body, and our spiritual progress. It was great. We got to learn something new.

Something that no one teaches in daily life. We had to stay there for seven days, and during these seven days you could not use mobile phones, and you had to speak as little as possible. You only have to speak if you need to. Otherwise, not at all. Here everyone has a small hut in which you can practice meditation. You can do your daily chores by making as little noise as possible. Here you have to wake up very early in the morning, if you do not wake up, the sadhus here will come to wake you up very politely. You cannot say anything in front of their politeness, you will wake up anyway. After that, after doing the daily chores in the morning, meditation takes place in a big hall. Here, very famous sages teach meditation.

After this, you are given breakfast. The breakfast is completely vegetarian. Veg food calms our minds. That is why garlic, onion, salt, spicy food are not used here. The entire day's program is fixed. The peace during meditation is pin drop. Everyone has to take care that none of my movements disturb others. On coming here, you have to forget all the worldly tasks for these seven days. You have to work on your mind. There are many techniques here for this. You can adopt whatever you like. Here, silence has to be observed. We are taught to collect the energy that is spent in speaking every day. Sometimes we keep on speaking about things that are not needed much. We are taught the art of thinking well. Many things are told about nature. One day a sadhu told us about how to keep the mind stable when we are alone.
Friends, when we are alone, our mind thinks a lot. That too on topics that are not needed. He told us that a person hides his personality from others. We know that we are very good, bad, worthless, thieves. We know this and we hide it from others. This is fine, but we hide it from ourselves. And this is very dangerous. Because you know from within, what you are. By hiding it, we lose our self-confidence. And we become a victim of a different mentality. Therefore, we should accept whatever we are and find a way out of it. This is also the meaning of prayer. Accept whatever is, as it is. Go to the shelter of that supreme power. Confess before him. And by doing this, half of our burden is reduced instantly. With this, we can think positively and live a good life. Friends, we can hide everything from the world, but it is difficult to hide from ourselves. That is why we should focus on our thinking when we are alone. We got to learn a lot of things here. Which will be very useful in this busy life. That is why we should learn such a life art under someone's guidance. Which will make our lives joyful. Thank you.
