Till a being understands this law, the being will forever be tossed to and fro, by his physical and mental nature, in the world of dissatisfaction. Meditation can change all this. The first direct effect meditation has on beings is a change of thinking, a change that will dispel the veil of darkness, the veil of ignorance, the veil of suffering surrounding a being, a change that will make the being aware of the common purpose for which all beings are on earth and all beings have a change as a result of which, the being will be guided by a higher wisdom, a higher knowledge, the wisdom and knowledge of the incarnated soul, so long as the being exists on earth. Thanks to the spiritual enlightenment, brought about by meditation, wherever such beings go, they will bring peace, harmony, bliss and happiness among others. Such a being will become as bright as the Sun, and just like the Sun changes all darkness around it into light, will transform, the darkness of the physical and mental nature of beings into spiritual light, spiritual wisdom and spiritual freedom for all beings. The question is are you ready yet or not? If not, then if so far you have understood what meditation is, rest assured, one day, you will be ready. A tree is a tree, whether it grows in America or Australia or England or India or anywhere on earth it is still a tree. A blade of grass is a blade of grass be it anywhere on earth, still it will grow into a blade of grass. A being is a being, a being born in India is called Indian, a being born in America is called American, a being born in Australia is called Australian and so on, but first the person is a being and then an American or Indian or Australian and so on. Similarly meditation is meditation, no matter what religion a being belongs to, religions also teach that a being must meditate, which in turn leads to the fulfilment of the common purpose for which all beings are on earth. Everything has a function to perform, sight is a function of the eyes, and thinking is a function of the brain, so too the function of meditation is realisation of the absolute.
