The Effect of meditation is different from the purpose of meditation.

Meditation have some good effects. Stress is reduced. Happiness occurs. Insight increases. Concentration is increased. Wishes come true. Synchronicity occurs.

These effects will motivate us to meditate. If these effects are obtained, we determine that meditation is good and will continue to meditate.

However, meditation has a purpose. It is knowing who am I. It is only one purpose of meditation, other objects are nothing. The effect of meditation is not the purpose of meditation. It is just an effect like a by-product obtained by meditation.

We are dealing with its by-products like the purpose of meditation. The most important thing of meditation is that obtain the by-product, if it can not be obtained, we determine that there is no meaning of meditation. Therefore meditation was emphasized only effects, the original purpose was missed.

It is not a effect to knowing oneself that is the purpose of meditation. Because it is not effect, it is good for nothing. Therefore, to know oneself in meditation is not attractive for people who know its effects. So we will give priority to the effects of meditation, secretly replace its purpose to the by-product.

Why people cannot attain enlightenment.

2,500 years ago, saints preached the way of a human. Saints preached that we should enlighten. Enlightenment means to return to the true oneself. True oneself is in the depths of our heart.

We are incomplete as a human. Because we does not know the truth oneself. For we become a complete as a human, need to find the truth oneself. Enlightenment is to discover oneself, and is to become one with that oneself.

Finding the true oneself is easy. However, people who are enlightened are very few. In fact, most people are not interested in enlightenment. Therefore, we will remain incomplete as a human, are wandering through life like a ghost.

However, we are not satisfied about that. We are trying to improve the quality of our life. We study at school, and get the money by work, marry and have our home. By doing so, we are aiming to be a happiness.

One and All.

In meditation, we go toward the only one place. Its location is the same for everyone, is always exist in our own. We are fused our mind in the one place.

That place is a pure oneself. there is without having to move, is not visible to the eye, only certainty is there, and it's very subtle location. In order to fuse there, we have to abandon what we have.

We are going to throw away their beliefs and abilities, social status, the pride. We are going to throw away the feelings and thoughts and images in the mind. They are not oneself. Then we approached to pure oneself, therewith will become one.

We have a natural desire to fuse with pure oneself. However, our mind is refuse this. Because our mind believe that oneself is our beliefs, abilities and pride, we can not throw them away.

Because they are not oneself, if we can not abandon them, our mind can not be fused with pure oneself. So our mind will try to incorporate a pure oneself as one experience of the mind.

Our mind tries to treat pure oneself as being the same level as beliefs and abilities. So our mind converts the pure oneself to one experience, it makes a compromise that refuse to assimilate pure oneself. As a result, pure oneself had been converted to an object, such as love and bliss. While our mind is seeking a pure oneself, we are contorted its oneself. And we build a good situation convenient for us.

Value that we know oneself

We are always looking for oneself. Because we think oneself is incomplete, we will try to add what is missing to oneself. We keep to be looking for what is lacking to oneself in the world. It is a work, an ability, property, friends, lovers, a family, health, and a thought.

We find them from the world, and will incorporate into oneself. Then gradually oneself increases. A lot of experiences and memories will be stacked in us. We will be happy to look at them.

However, even if we have gathered a lot of experience in the world, we are not satisfied. We are always lacking something. If we think that love is not enough, we will cherish the feelings of love. If we think that God is insufficient, we begin to pray God. If we think that freedom is missing, we begin to live freely.

Even if we tried to do so, we can not be satisfied. We do not know what is missing. Because we do not know what is missing, to try to collect a lot more. And we will be more and more bloated.

What is our wish?

We are living for finding our wish. We strive to realize its wish. And we continue to strive to not lose the wish that became realized.

However we may not be able to fulfill the wish. We may also not be able to keep the wish that became realized. Our wish is very unstable. Therefore we have to always continue to wish.

Even if the realization of the wish is unstable and ephemeral, we continue to live with a wish something. To continue seeking a wish is a mission that was given to our life. Therefore we continue to look for a complete wish is not lost.

We are tired to be obtained endlessly. In fact, we want to stop to seek anymore. To do so, we need a complete wish that is not lost. We have to be realized that.

All of the people were born on the same day.

We were born on the same day and in the same place. Birthday that we know is just a birthday of this body. Our body was born in each place and time. However, our consciousness has been born in more ancient times. It's that day, known as the Big Bang.

We slept until that day. We did not notice with our own existence. One day, we woke up abruptly. This awakened day is a birthday of our consciousness. For all the people, a birthday of this consciousness is the same day.

First, this awakened existence was alone. The existence of alone was split itself as a material. Its existence is even now just one. We feel others as a different existence, because the sense of people is divided.

We believe ourselves as the one of the seven billion people alive on the earth. However, all of the people were originally alone. Even people that we have never met, they are our own consciousness that awoke on the same day.

It is said that everyone are brother, but it is the same person rather than brothers. Even people who seem like a other people, it is starting from awakening of the same existence. Despite we are a different body, share the same consciousness even now.

What is YOGA?

Yoga means to be integrated. What will be integrated? It is to be integrate mind and consciousness. Mind is a thinking. It is always moving. Consciousness does not move in the background of mind. It just is quietly there.

Our core is this consciousness. However we believe our thinking is oneself. Since we think our thinking is oneself, oneself is always come and go. Since we are swayed that mind is always come and go, we do not know who is oneself.

If changed thinking is oneself, oneself is always changing. Because it has changed, we have never settle in one location. As far as we believe that oneself are our thinking, we will try to seek oneself in thinking.

However, as far as thinking is moving, it is not possible to find it. Even if we were looking for oneself in our thinking, it would be endless quest. After all, we can not find oneself in our thinking. Yoga will integrate ourselves into one. True self is one consciousness without motion.
