Your daily meditation: a journey of self-study
Discover how the daily practice of Sadhana allows you to concentrate and focus your thoughts!
There is a profound introspective science that recognizes our subjective nature, distinguishing us from the inanimate objects surrounding us. In this view, thought itself is seen as a force capable of shaping and influencing the external world. This concept urges us to consider the mind as an integral part of the world, rather than separate from it.
When we reflect on this deep connection between mind and world, observer and observed, we understand that we are creative beings, capable of shaping reality with our thoughts, words, emotions, and actions. We are “effect creators”! The aim is therefore to enrich our psychic, emotional, and mental capacities to act consciously and create effects in the world that can foster a more harmonious and balanced reality, for ourselves and for others.
Language: the means to develop thought
In the modern era, instead of enriching our language to deepen our thinking, we are simplifying and flattening our communications, especially through social media. This phenomenon of impoverishing our minds has a significant impact on our ability to think critically and deeply and to look beyond with perspective.
Due to the impoverishment of language and thought, people tend to polarize in opinions and focus on differences rather than seeking harmony, unity, and common well-being. This phenomenon can be understood by comparing it to the metaphor of the divided hen: where only the back of the hen, which produces fruits, is desired, and the front, which consumes, is excluded; without understanding the importance and indivisibility of the whole. If we want to evolve as human beings and as a species, we must unite differences so that they can function better than divided poles.
The only way to understand and implement collective unity and well-being is to turn our attention inward, activating a process of awareness and growth that gradually allows us to modify our psycho-emotional structure, and then act in the world by creating value with every thought and action.
Introduction to the Practice of Sadhana
It is our task to engage in introspective science because if we focus exclusively on external affairs, we neglect internal, spiritual evolution and contact with the essence, the divine. Many still struggle to understand the connection between mind and matter, observer and observed, and that reality is not necessarily known, while this concept paves the way for the practice of meditation, which aims to bring attention inward through concentration and focus.
To immerse ourselves in the divine nature of the world of objects, we must meditate and learn to focus attention on a specific object. Meditation practice, or Dhyana, involves reflecting on psychic contents, exploring them as we immerse ourselves in a state of deep concentration. During meditation, when we focus on contents, it’s like downloading files from email, as the psychic contents of the object we focus on are progressively revealed to us. But many still lack this concentration due to a lack of practice, or Sadhana. Daily Sadhana practice teaches us to maintain this concentration not only during meditation but also in daily activities like walking, eating, and talking. Only when we acquire this capacity can we delve deeper, recognize inner contents, and make conscious and balanced decisions in our relationships and everyday life.
The purpose of every thought, every action should be to reduce conflict, polarity, separation in our lives. However, it’s difficult to achieve this goal when people remain trapped in warring and conflicting egos. We must therefore learn to master thought, emotions, and actions, and learn to communicate not to be right, but to explain ourselves to each other and express gratitude. It’s conflict that destroys everything because people tend to unite not for the common good but to defend their own defects and interests. They take shortcuts and use poor language, creating discord and unpleasant daily situations without realizing it. People don’t engage in conflict because they are evil but because they lack awareness, better education to overcome dualisms and internal struggles, to free themselves from manipulations and conditioning, and therefore an education that helps them reconnect with their spiritual essence to live in harmony with the world.
Daily Sadhana practice guides us along a path of self-exploration and inner development, allowing us to gain insight and avoid overreacting to external causes, distinguishing between fear and phobia. It’s crucial to note that while fear is a natural response that drives us to protect ourselves from real dangers, phobia is an irrational fear based on imaginary assumptions. Through constant practice, we learn to develop confidence not only in external beliefs but above all in the inner experience that leads us to authentic and profound knowledge, rooted in our hearts.
Sadhana, therefore, is not just a set of spiritual practices but a journey toward self-understanding and the realization of our true divine nature. It’s an invitation to explore our inner being and discover the deeper meaning of our existence in the universe. This approach to self-knowledge is revolutionary because it allows us to overcome the illusion of the external world and embrace the true essence of life with awareness and gratitude.
