One who believes in the efficacy of meditation ‘sadhana’ in
life, must first imbibe unqualifying faith. This is the basic element
constituting the roots of meditation. Cultivation of total faith indicates a
good beginning. As a matter of fact, the deity believed to be present in places
of worship in the world – without, makes its appearance within the inner self. The
‘cause’ of any environments or circumstances are thus only visible consequences
of certain invisible internal thought processes. Toxins in the interanal circulatory
system of the human body make their presence felt as abscess appearing on the skin. The leaves, flowers and
fruits of a tree do not materialize from space. They owe their existence to the
nutrients drawn by the invisible roots. Similarily, the source of extraordinary
talents in human beings lies deep within the self. One may express his huminity
and gratitude to some deity, mantra or talisman for the gift of these virtues
but the fact remains, that not a single instance can be cited where an undeserving
person was favoured by some deity and bestowed with more favours than what he
or she actually deserved.
