Meditation is not Boring


Meditation has been regarded as ‘very difficult’ and ‘boring’ by few crazy souls on this planet. Spirituality has been touted as the sole baby of long bearded, seriously looking apparently enlightened souls. But Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has said that spirituality can be achieved through celebration also. And celebrations are never boring.


Meditation is the easiest form of spirituality and relaxation where “doing nothing” approach can lead you to enlightenment. Strenuous works leads to frequent burn outs but relaxation through meditation never lets you bore. We never get bored of having food, as an element of ‘pleasure’ is involved in it. After effects of meditation are nothing but pleasure and that too long lasting. 
So think about it, how can such a beautiful thing be boring? An initial foray into meditation can be a challenging task but keeping faith can help a lot.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that having belief in the unknown is faith. Let us have faith in the power of unknown and meditate. After a threshold limit, the journey would start on auto pilot mode and without meditation, life would seem boring.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar also says, the world rocking Sudarshan Kriya was downloaded from the universe in silence and meditation. The famous ‘Aayurveda’ knowledge was blessed to the 86000 meditators who meditated in central India thousands of years ago and the same was compiled by the Rishis (sages) in a presentable form. Meditation is the process of finding answers from the consciousness and only subtle mind can do that. Meditation takes you to the subtle areas.
Pleasures through five senses of eye, nose, skin, taste and ears can lead to boredom in a day. Even moderate use of them would certainly lead to boredom because their life is limited. Limited things only can give boredom but the joy of the soul is ever lasting, pure and UNLIMITED. Unlimited things would radiate forever. Boring has got no place in this journey.  Let us start meditating now or else we would get bore by discussing the worldly things.
