IMPORTANCE OF MEDITATION

*Why Meditation is necessary?*

Read below from Medical Angle

From the time of our birth till death the heart works continuously. Everyday the heart pumps 7000 litres of blood ,of which 70% blood is pumped to the brain and the remaining 30%  to the rest of body. The blood is pumped through veins/arteries which are about more than 70,000 km long. The strength required to pump the blood upto 42 ft high and weight of 1 tonne is generated by the heart everyday throught its work.

We take rest when we are tired but if the heart takes rests for 4-5 mins we will have to rest forever.

*How does the heart work so much effeciently and effectively?*

Heart works effectively because it follows a discipline. In normal conditions the heart takes 0.3 secs to contract (systole) and 0.5 secs to relax (diastole). So 0.3+0.5=0.8 secs are required by the heart to complte one beat (1 cardiac cycle). That means in 1 min the heart beats 72 times which is considered as normal heart beat. During the relaxing phase of 0.5 secs the impure blood travels through the lungs and becomes 100 % pure.

In some stressful conditions the body demands more blood in less time and in this situation the heart reduces the relaxing period of 0.5 secs to 0.4 secs. Thus in this case the heart beats 82 times in 1min and only 80% of blood gets purified. On more n more demand the relaxing time is further reduced to 0.3 secs then only 60% of blood is purified. Thus 20-40% of impure blood is pumped in the veins/ arteries. These impure components (cholestrol/lipid) gets deposited on the walls of arteries/ veins and thus the elastic nature of the veins and the arteries is lost. So they become plastic in nature.

After some time due to the above conditions the veins/arteries become rigid. Now if a blood clot travels through the veins/ arteries (which in normal conditions gets easily passed away due to the elastic nature earlier) gets blocked and resists blood flow in that area.
This results in a blockage which further results in Heart Attack.

From the above discussion we realise that the main reason for the heart problems is the increase demand of blood by the brain and the body. When the activity of brain is stimulated it demands more amount of blood than that of normal conditions.

To stimulate the activity of brain 25-30% of diet we take is responsible whereas the remaining 70-75% is due to the thinking, emotions, attitude, memories and other processes of the brain.

So those who want to keep their heart working effectively for a long period of time they should protect themselves from - worries, anger, sadness, emotional n sensitive behavior, stress and hurry.

To protect ourselves from the above few things there is NO MEDICATION available so the only option is Meditation. Pl do it regularly.

FRUITS OF PAST DEEDS

FRUITS OF PAST DEEDS

If we talk about a child born in a palace as a prince, we can say that because of the good deeds and attributes in his past incarnations, this soul has obtained birth in royal family and love of Queen as mother and King as father. He becomes eligible for all the luxuries of life, royal clothes, royal dishes, prosperity and wealth. All his desires are fulfilled in no time. In adverse atmosphere like summer season , he is provided with cool environment and in winters warm. His future is totally secured.
But everyone is not so lucky. As a result of good past deeds, one gets this kind of birth. All these favourable conditions of life and luxuries are obtained because of past deeds and Karmas. If one has these favourable conditions, one should utilise the resources, time and energies not only for his spiritual growth but also for the welfare of society under the able guidance of his Guru and God. He should try to live in a manner so that his present birth becomes graceful and his future incarnations becomes successful. If we constatntly utilize the earnings saved in banks without adding deposits in it, they could come to an and. Also if we debit more as compared to credit, one day all earnings would end.  We therefore should not stop doing good deeds since what we have today is the result of our past deeds.  We should constantly do good deeds and spiritual practices under the guidance of an able Guru.
With the grace of his master works , if a person gets aware of this life opportunities , he can further grow spiritually. He works selflessly, with compassion and brotherhood for all. Contrary to this, a person who has all luxuries and favourable conditions of life but not keen to grow , spiritually have egoistic tendencies, he enjoys the present life but falls in the clusters of desires and lust. He is not able to credit his karmic account.
A prince born in a kingdom generally becones  king one day.  If he , even though being son of a King is filled with negative qualities like lack of intergrity , compassion , purity,  control over senses etc  which make him unfit, the king will not promote him further.
Similar is the case with us.  We are born with all opportunities of life but instead of going for spiritual growth, we are involved totally in this gross world for same gratification.
This birth we have is a rare birth and we must move on the path of Sadhna and credit our karmic account with gems of selfless work, love , compassion and Grace of Guru.
