The practice of the science of meditation
is open and beneficial to all, whatever our
objectives are. We can meditate to
experience mental calm and be free from
mental restlessness, as we all go through
moments of restlessness from time to time.
In this way meditation can help us stay
focused and support us in accomplishing
our material objectives. If our goal is to find
happiness in the world, meditation can
certainly help us achieve that by giving us
the inner experience of unalloyed joy at all
times. If we are religious, meditation can help
us gain a deeper and more profound
understanding of our religion. If our wish is to
attain physical health and well-being, we can
certainly attain that through meditation. Finally,
if our goal is to attain spiritual enlightenment,
meditation opens for us the inner spiritual path, gives us inner strength and fills our lives with joy.
