Swamijis morning lecture, London, 4th of September
Meditation is the practical technique to reach a level of consciousness where the seeds of past karma can be burned. Our actions in this life yield their fruits as destiny, which are reactions we must experience. If we cannot properly address these karmic fruits, they will return. The practice involves discipline and austerity to purify these influences. It aims to provide peace of mind, reduce daily stress, and foster self-understanding. Through this, we learn to judge ourselves and comprehend life's meaning. Ultimately, it cultivates a fundamental love and care for all.
"The cause is somewhere in the past, and so the cause is the result."
"Meditation is that practice technique that enables us to reach the level of that consciousness where the seeds... can be burned."
