Meditation
Learning to Meditate
If we do not exercise or use the muscles of our legs for a long time, it will be difficult to use them to walk. This is what has happened to the human soul. The legs of the mind and the intellect have not been exercised spiritually for a long time and so they have become unhealthy: there is no permanent peace, happiness or contentment. We have exercised ourselves intellectually by analyzing, discussing and accumulating information, but the soul has remained underdeveloped and undernourished.
So, meditation is that spiritual exercise which revives the original qualities of the human soul, bringing them back into our awareness.
