The power of Meditation

"We are taught how to move and behave in the external world, be we are never taught how to be still and examine what is within ourselves. At the same time, learning to be still and calm should not be made a ceremony or a part of any religion, it is a universal requirement of the human body. When one learns to sit still, he or she attains a kind of joy that is inexplicable. The highest of all joys that can ever be attained or experience by a human being can be attained through meditation. All the other joys in the world are transient and momentary but the joy of meditation is immense and everlasting. - Swami
