What is the objective of meditation?
Are you asking me why you should meditate? Let me ask you, why should you sleep? Why should you study? Why do you want entertainment? Why do you want to be healthy? One can live anyway, have you thought about it? Why do you want to be happy? You can exist anyway, being happy or unhappy.
Meditation is food for the soul, it nurtures the core of your existence. Meditation has multiple benefits. It keeps you physically fit and healthy, mentally focussed and sane. Intellectually, it brings such sharpness, keenness of attention, awareness and observation. Emotionally, you feel lighter, softer and purer. You are able to let go of all the past garbage. It creates positive vibrations around you, influencing your behaviour with others, and others behaviour with you. Meditation gives the deepest rest in the shortest time.
