camera - eyes | speaker - mouth | microphone - ears | mouse - skin | content - taste
As such a computer even after having limbs comparable to human doesn't react without proper input.
"I feel it is in meditative state"
how to prove above statement ?
The simplest answer to why meditation is needed, is to understand who I am really.
The lessons taught by great teachers who understood essence of Vedas come to our aid.
we are not limbs, we are not even intellect we are not thoughts.
we are just Chaitanya within!!
we are not mouse, camera, mic, speaker, etc. we are not processor, we are not command.
But we are current / power.
Now what should we as Chaitanya do is to put best use of the given accessories that action?
Solution is given by Sadguru with whose grace we get to read scriptures like Gita.
What Gita tells us is, till your goal is known one should be occupied with Yagna, Tapam, Daana
Yagna is also described in good length and in one statement, Bhagavan says Yagnanam japa yagnosmi [Chanting is my form among all Yagnas]
Tapas is described with help of ahimsa satyam akrodham [non-violence, truth, calmness]
Charity - Daana is not something new to be explained everyone finds peace by doing that.
But at end of day why are we drawing these parallels between human and computer and linking it to meditation!!
Peace of a human becomes piece as he tend to react
So he has to be like a computer, which, with all limbs doesn't react, for everything and anything, but for perfect programmed command.
Bhagavan mentioned this in gita Shabdadeen vishayananye indriaagnishu juhwati
Burn the input at the place of tapping. if you hear leave it, if you see leave it, if you talk restrict it.
But look at the training given to the human right from day one, one or other sound is made to attract attention and such is training to a kid to respond to small and big things. After growing up with this training it gets even more difficult to unlearn.
Humans have to program themselves by knowing the priority through meditation and till then do activities that help them safe guard that practice.
What is wrong in reacting to everything, nothing as long as you or those around you are not disturbed, but 99% of time doing so means brain is filled with garbage that is never going to help and there is no auto garbage collector that can help brain be sharp.
This is what Gurus gave us meditation and this is how we need to disconnect.
Finally if we are not able to meditate we need to look at the computer that we always hang on with may it be in form of mobile, laptop, desktop it call it anything, tab, tv, washing machine, dishwasher everything has a processor, in a way are we not living among examples on how to restrict reaction AGAIN if we don't have time for meditation we just need to look at these try to map them to ourselves and keep learning - maybe this comparison would help increase time of meditation or decrease garbage process.
Finally focus on Krishna.
Jaya Guru Datta.
