When we choose to create silence within, we try to make the external environment and our physical self conducive to take steps towards meditation and allow meditation to happen. When meditation happens it’s a phenomenon which is beyond space and time and therefore we do not know when we slip into meditation, we do not know while we are in the so-called divine gap, in that inner silence, in the touch of our inner divinity. We can only know that when we start seeing the positive transformation in our lives. When life starts flowing effortlessly, when our desires and intentions starts becoming reality easily and when we start seeing enhancement in our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, This inner and outer transformation happens through meditation, we start manifesting those divine attributes of inner silence inner wisdom that we had touched based when we slipped into meditation. When does meditation happen? In the Yog Sutras of Patanjali, Sage Patanjali offers us actual steps and practices for spiritual growth, the path towards meditation, towards yoga, and ultimately to self-realization. The second Sutra of chapter one: “Yoga Chitti Vritti Nirodha” tells us that yoga is silencing -Nirodha of the varieties-fluctuation, movements, patterns of our mind- Chitta. When we stand still those movements- fluctuations of the Vrittis: the past memories, desires, fear, greed, judgment, and so on in our Chitta-mind, Yoga happens! Meditation happens! In this meditation, we bring awareness towards Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirdoha.
