Men everywhere are, if we only knew it, always in a state of unconscious meditation, dreaming of better things, fighting for desired material benefits, longing for that which lies beyond our present possession and our present attainment and, in many cases, even our vision.
All these desires, longings, wishes, visions and dreams are the “ingredients” of the focussed meditation which will some day be known; they are the first results which produce success in the three worlds (physical, emotional and mental), and which lead eventually to an integrated personality, ready to appreciate the higher aspects of meditation when concentration upon worldly material success and benefits has proved no longer appealing.
That which we have, through meditative concentration, succeeded in creating (and all of us, under the Law of Karma, create our own world) and which no longer satisfies, causes our meditation to shift into the creation of higher things, into the world of spiritual values and of that which is covered by the unsuccessful and inadequate term of “heaven.”
All of life and living is a meditation. What we concentrate on in the mind precipitates our experiences in life now and at some point in the future.
