Yes, Meditation Necessary!

People in the world are often known to be in sorrow. They are looking for something for that. There are many people who do not know why they wander like this.

It is natural. Similarly, when happiness comes, sorrow disappears. When this short-term happiness is gone, the sadness that is there comes. The wise do not rejoice internally because they know that this happiness is temporary. Knowing that sorrow is eternal, find a way to remove this sorrow.

Siddhartha, the king’s son, went to renunciation to find a way to get rid of his sorrows, and for six years he engaged in severe penance, which he had heard about in forests and mountains. At last he attained enlightenment through his own efforts and became Samma Sambuddha. He taught truths known by his wisdom to the world.

The first thing he announced to the world was the Four Noble Truths. They are…

  • The fact that the world is full of sorrow
  • The truth is that sorrow is produced for a reason
  • The truth is that grief is completely eradicated
  • Truth is the way out of grief.

How do we get rid of grief after letting it be known? That is, He has also shown the way to get rid of misery and find eternal happiness.

Meditation is to control the mind which wanders here and there uncontrollably. In other words, the mind is the catalyst for the implementation of all the things (good and bad) that we do. Meditation is the act of purifying such a mind and bringing it under control.

Meditation is knowing the nature of the mind that is the cause of all sorrows and joys and engaging it in one’s daily life. According to the rules shown by Lord Buddha, those who engage in meditation seriously can achieve samadhi and achieve the good end (panna) of wisdom.
