BANGALORE: However, we should never be obsessive or compulsive about them. If we have too many materialistic desires, aims and ambitions, they shrink our minds and drive out peace so that we cannot meditate. Then these desires generate a lot of expectations and when these are not fulfilled, we are bombarded by stress, tension, anxiety, worry and ill-health. The mind becomes like a poisonous snake trapped in a basket. If we open that basket it creates a problem and if we keep it closed it creates an even bigger problem like panic, fear and anxiety.When we balance our lives, all this can be avoided. Everything that we have been doing till now through meditation is aimed at setting right this balance. As we meditate sincerely to make these changes happen one by one, we feel more and more empowered because this increases our willpower. As our willpower becomes stronger, we find it much easier to discipline the mind and transform our thinking patterns. When the mind is disciplined by willpower, the percentage of our freewill increases. Then we will acquire the immense power needed to actualise our dreams and goals.Now my dear friend, just close your eyes and resolve, “From today, I will empower my Soul by balancing the materialistic, divine and spiritual aspects of my life by giving equal attention through meditation to all of them every day.
