1. Achieve Great things in life
Just try to compare your mind to a light bulb, the rays of it go out in all directions, the energy of bulb is dissipated. If you are a few feet away from the bulb, you can’t feel the heat though there is a lot of heat at the centre of the bulb. The same way our mind’s power is dissipated in all the directions. With the help of meditation, you can transform light bulb kind of mind to a laser light beam, which has the power to make a hole even in steel. Similarly concentrated thoughts also has great power. It has the power of heightened perception, the ability to see more of the underlying truth behind the phenomenon. It can achieve great things and to do unimaginable amounts of work.
2. Achieve relaxation
A focused mind is also a relaxed mind. Whenever you become deeply engrossed in anything you automatically come to a state of relaxation. Meditation prevents the mind from wandering in all directions and in end provide real relaxation.
3. Work becomes more enjoyable
A person with a focused mind can do all kinds of work with more efficiency. On other hand, a person who is unable to focus, who thinks of other things while doing the work at hand, makes mistakes and takes an unnecessary length of time to complete the task, if he ever completes it at all. He will continually think about how slowly the time is passing, he will worry about himself, his problems, his family, while he is working. Due to poor concentration, there is a poor application, so the work is not properly done. Therefore meditation is essential in daily life as well as to achieve ultimate perfection of life.
4. Can influence yourself and others
With the help of meditation techniques, you can develop such mental powers, in which thoughts are not scattered and can be brought into concentration focus by specific meditation practices and your mind will become so powerful that you can influence the minds of others too. You can influence your character, your health, your whole life. If you have a stomach disorder, mental disorder, breathing disorder or any disorder, you can remove it by willpower alone and this willpower can be developed by meditation techniques.
5. Ability To Make Strong Decisions
One can make one’s mind very strong. And what meant by a strong mind? A strong mind is one which can carry out its own decisions. In contrast, a weak mind is one which decides one thing but does another. From tomorrow I am going to do this or that but when tomorrow comes you forget everything. You are still the same because your mind is dissipated. All the great men about whom you have read in history, whether artists, writers, missions, politicians, statesmen, military leaders, scientists or saints, achieved greatness because of the quality of their mind. They did not become great by a freak of nature or a stroke of luck. They became great due to the quality of their mind. And we can also evolve our mind to that level by doing meditation regularly.
