[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 161706, member: 2610"] We just went over this. Miri Piri - going outward and doing wordly things as well as going deeply inward. You gotta do both. Mental contraction ad relaxation. You gotta do both. Another example would be muscle contraction and relaxation. Compulsive internal debate like that is akin to fatigue, sore muscles and frequent muscle cramps and contractions due to intensive exercise. In order to work out and exercise the muscles, you need to relax them too. There are things (namely muscle growth and repair) that happen in relaxation that do not happen in contraction. Massage which is even further relaxation promotes blood flow (thus inflow of nutrients and oxygen) to those nooks and crannies inside your body, further promoting muscle growth and a healthy body overall. "carried out with closed eyes, lights out..in dark caves..or dungeons" complements the Miri. There are Truths you can only discover in solitude, deep inside your mind. These Truths once discovered, then allow you to really understand what Guru Sahibs and Bhagats are saying in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, because they have also discovered these Truths through meditation in solitude. The only way to know if what they are saying is true is to actually do the experiment inside your consciousness. (Now of course, you can also take their word for it and simply do what they say. That's fine too.) Things like creativity, wisdom, insight, virtues, art, music, dance, sports performance, etc best arise in a relaxed intellect. Doing them also promotes a relaxed intellect. This is why Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is also heavy on kirtan and bhajans alongside and even combined with meditation. Constant reminders not only to repeat God's name and meditate but also [B]sing[/B] Lord's praises. Everything is organized in musical structure. Music and bani go hand in hand because music relaxes the intellect. The whole system is designed to relax the intellect as the individual goes through the prescribed activities. Those expecting results after one session of meditation will be deeply unsatisfied. This is a long-term goal. Like exercise, you won't see the changes after a few sessions in the gym. PS Mala is just a tool (a very good one nonetheless). Humans like to do things with their hands. Mala keeps the hand(s) busy. Another way is to touch your index or middle finger with your thumb, or to bring your hands together and rest one on top of the other. Hands want to touch, they want to constantly touch and play around with things. [/QUOTE]
