Meditation For Inner Peace and Social Harmony by Dada
Rainjitananda
In this vast Universe
there are so many galaxies, stars and planets and amongst
them
The planet Earth In this planet there are so many beings,
Undeveloped and developed beings
amongst them human beings
Every being, every entity has a characteristic of its own. The
cause of its existence The essential factor that keeps it alive,
that makes it exist. It may be a developed entity or any element,
take for example:
Fire What is the essential characteristic of fire? What is the
reason for its existence?
To burn. It exists because it burns
Human Beings What is the essential characteristic of human
beings?
Human life What is human life for? What are human beings
searching for? The Yogis say: Happiness, love Peace Bliss
How much of that? How much of happiness / peace do we want? How
many minutes, hours or days?
Are the people finding that peace and happiness?
What is the difficulty? The senses The mind
For how long are the senses pleased? Eyes Movie 2 hours Ears
Music CD 1 hour Feeling roller coaster ride 10 min Taste Ice Cream
5 min Smell Flower 10 sec The senses have a limited capacity to
satisfy
What is Meditation It is a system to develop the human mind in
all aspects To attain harmony, inner peace and happiness.
The Human Mind In YOGIC science the mind is divided into
layers
The First Layer The Conscious Mind
The Second Layer The Subconscious Mind
The Superconscious Mind Third Layer: Supramental intuition,
creativity Fourth Layer: Subliminal conscience and non-attachment
3. Fifth Layer: the golden layer.
How to reach there?
The Microcosm and The human being
the Macrocosm The Cosmic Consciousness
Mental Expansion The microcosm is like a drop of water The
Macrocosm is like the ocean When the microcosm thinks of the
Macrocosm human mind expands to infinite
The Mantra Thinking about the Infinite the Macrocosm, the
Cosmic Consciousness. It is a thought or a word which expands the
mind calms the mind and liberates it from limitations

MANTRA Meditating with a mantra helps the mind to reach the
deeper layers
Regular practice is a must to attain progress in
Meditation.
How does meditation affects the society? By expanding the mind
the feeling of Universalism is awakened. The feeling of closeness
with everyone and everything. Meditation changes the individual
psychology and the social psychology.
Social Psychology To build a society, there are two distinct
psychologies. One is service psychology, which inspires people to
promote collective interest.
The second is group psychology, which only tries to promote the
limited interest of a small group.
Those who are guided by group psychology want to establish the
authority of their group and impose their interests on others. This
leads to inter-personal and inter- group conflict.
Only the psychology of service, the synthetic approach leads to
unity and cohesion amongst numerous individuals and groups.
What is the best psychology? The idea to promote the welfare of
the universe.
Human society is one and indivisible
For psychic progress and to make the mind light we take the
idea of Universal welfare And for Self-Realization we meditate on
the Universal Consciousness with the help of a Mantra. This is the
formula of the path of bliss.
