As humans, we think of awareness as sleeping and waking up. In fact, according to sages, most people spend their entire lives in sleep. Some people live their whole lives in sleep and leave the body. So, what is awareness?
Even animals live by defining their boundaries. Only man does not know himself. He does not even know his limits.
All other organisms in the world, do not make any changes in the biological food cycle. But the act of man who expresses himself as omniscient does not depict him as even semi-intelligent; he has no awareness of himself in the first place.
Not knowing what to say, how much to say, and what to say. Even basic things like what to think, when to think, what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat do not act consciously.
The great strangeness of the world is that he is not even aware that he is acting unconsciously. Just as darkness seems to be right for a person in a dark house, he often acts on the thought that what is right for a human being is the right thing to do.
Only those who realize the mistake can correct it first. The solution is to change his outward view and develop his inward view. Introspection means looking at oneself first and gaining clarity.
Spirituality is the only way to do this. Meditation is the only way to spiritual understanding. Man, first receives glimpses of understanding through meditation, like opening the window of a locked house. A man who lives only through the mind sees beyond the mind.
For the first time he feels freedom. He realizes that all this time he has been the servant of other senses and mind. Because during meditation the mind stops working.
It is at this moment when the mind is inactive that the first seed of self-realization begins to germinate. Then he becomes the master of his mind. It is only after this that complete awareness becomes possible in him.
In fact, meditation completely frees you from the mind and the knowledge formed by the stored opinions of others. Creates self-awareness. It is also the only instrument that ultimately leads man to God.
