Looking for Good in Others Becomes Second Nature

Meditation is not only a practice of silence; it is a practice of transformation. When we meditate regularly - alone or in collectivity - we connect to universal consciousness. This connection is not abstract; it is deeply practical. It dissolves the inconsistencies within us, heals the restlessness of the mind, and changes the way we see the world. One of the most profound changes is that looking for good in others becomes second nature.

Ordinarily, the human mind is conditioned to notice faults. We see what is lacking, what is wrong, and what is imperfect. This tendency creates negativity, judgment, and separation. But meditation shifts our inner lens. As the mind quiets and the heart opens, we begin to see differently. We no longer focus on flaws; instead, we naturally look for the good in others.

This change is not forced - it arises spontaneously. Just as a flower blooms when nourished by sunlight and water, goodness blooms in our perception when nourished by meditation. The universal consciousness we connect to is pure love, compassion, and bliss. As we align with it, our outlook becomes positive. We begin to see the divine spark in every person, regardless of their outer behaviour.

Negativity no longer touches our lives. It may exist in the world, but it does not penetrate our awareness. Meditation creates a protective shield of positivity. Problems lose their weight, conflicts dissolve, and relationships transform. When we look for good in others, we nurture kindness, trust, and harmony. The whole world begins to appear as love, compassion, and bliss.

Collective meditation magnifies this transformation. Alone, meditation deepens our inner silence. In collectivity, it expands our connection to humanity. Sitting with others in meditation creates a powerful field of consciousness. In this field, negativity dissolves more quickly, and the natural tendency to see goodness in others strengthens. We begin to experience the world not as fragmented individuals but as one collective soul.

The body also responds to this shift. As inner inconsistencies dissolve, health improves. Stress fades, immunity strengthens, and vitality increases. But beyond physical health, emotional health blossoms. Joy becomes natural, gratitude flows easily, and compassion becomes effortless. Looking for good in others is not just a mental attitude—it is the fragrance of a healthy soul.

Meditation also refines awareness. We begin to witness life as it is, without distortion. This witnessing dissolves judgment. Instead of labelling people as good or bad, we see them as souls on a journey. Each person is learning, growing, and evolving. This understanding brings compassion. We no longer criticise; we empathise. We no longer condemn; we uplift.

Ultimately, meditation transforms our relationships. When we look for good in others, we strengthen their goodness. Our positive perception becomes a mirror that reflects their higher qualities back to them. In this way, meditation does not only change us - it changes the world around us. The collective energy of positivity creates a ripple effect, spreading love and kindness everywhere.

Thus, meditation is not just about calming the mind - it is about transforming the heart. Regular practice connects us to universal consciousness, dissolves inner inconsistencies, and makes positivity our natural state. Looking for good in others becomes second nature. Negativity no longer touches us, and the whole world becomes love, kindness, and bliss.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Seeing Visions during Meditation

Image
  Photo credit: Transformational Art College Seeing Visions during Meditation Of late many people have asked me the meaning of visions one sees while meditating. Getting visions is related to the eyes and the eyes have a connection to the agya chakra. Swamiji has always said that once you reach the agya chakra – that is good as well as bad. The good part is that you have reached the agya chakra – means you have reached the sixth level while clearing the five chakras below the agya chakra. Once you reach the agya chakra you start seeing visions of deities, samadhist Gurus, some see a flame, a blue light which moves in circles and so on. So, what is this and why does this happen – this is the most common question. The agya chakra holds all the impressions of the past, whether it is guilt, anger, hurt or spiritual in nature. So, the visions of deities, Gurus, saints, etc are basically of those from the past. These impressions are imbedded deep in the subconscious mind or chitta. Once ...
