Our instant reaction to a problem would be to wrack our brains to end the issue . We spontaneously jump to resolving it without analyzing the issue, in the first place. Take for example , a person visits a doctor. The first 10 minutes or more , depending on the intensity of the medical case, of what transpires between the doctor and the patient would be analysis, then diagnosis and only then the treatment . However , when faced with a problem, however trivial it might be , we immediately press the panic button. This sends a shiver down all our senses and freezes our mind and brain from thinking objectively . Many a times, we discuss our problems with a confidante and majority of the time , suggestions given by a friend or relative has worked well in our favor. Ever thought why ? That is because the person with whom we share a problem is detached from the problem itself. He/ she is able to think with a clear head and provide a feasible solution with clarity . Now, what if we can do it on our own ? Distancing our self from the problem per se and alternating actions with silent contemplation will put us in an atmosphere of serene silence and focused thinking . We should withdraw ourselves from the action and slip into meditation. This will clear all the clogs and confusions in the mind and help us thinking more objectively. Do not assume that the problem will snatch your peace of mind and meditation is not possible when your mind is not at rest . An earnest seeker of solutions to problems is likely to get an answer to his problems only when his mind is at peace. So, we should not wait for peace to come to us. Rather, we should consciously seek it by putting ourselves in an absorptive state. This state of meditation will reveal to us to what extent we have secured detachment. By practicing the state of spiritual aloofness in the midst of our work and dealings with our children , spouse and society we will be able to keep our mind open to resolving any kind of issue with poise. The word meditation should not lead us to think that we will have to abandon our duties to be able to practice sadhana . First establish harmony at home . Then bring to home the atmosphere of serenity thereby helping your spouse and children too to benefit from the fruit of meditation. Being devoted to our duty and becoming adept at meditation is the success mantra for a harmonious home and family .
