5 Meditation Steps
In the beginning, meditation is just a relaxation. In the second step, meditation is something that gives you energy; you feel more energetic. In the third step, meditation brings creativity. In the fourth step, mediation brings enthusiasm and joy.
The fifth step of meditation is indescribable, you simply can't describe it. It is that oneness with the whole universe. This is the fifth step of meditation, and don’t stop before that. I usually compare this with people who go to the beach in Spain, or in Italy. Some people just go for a walk and they are happy with that. Some others go and take a good swim and
feel refreshed, and they are happy with that. There are some who go fishing, and there are some who go scuba diving and see all the nice creatures, and are happy with that. And then there are some others who go and draw wealth out of the ocean; they go deeper. So the knowledge keeps in front of you all these options. Don’t stop with just some relaxation, some joy, some enthusiasm, or with fulfilment of some desires.
Do you know, your ability to enjoy also increases with meditation, and your ability to fulfill your desires also increases with meditation. And when you don’t want anything for yourself, you are able to fulfill the desires of others as well.
It is simply very nice. So don’t stop before that, keep mediating.
