We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves

self- a simple void or fertile ground of creation



To reach within, one has to go inside in the inner space, which is usually done in meditation. Meditation is the process of going inside. The aim of meditation is to get in tuned with universe or life force energy by stilling the thoughts.
When the mind is stilled the chakras (the energy centers of body through which body get access to life force energy) get aligned which in tunes gets better supply of life force energy.
The creation of stillness inside, in sync of real self (shedding false identification “ego”, practicing non-judgment and silence) becomes a fertile ground of creation (MANIFESTATION OF DESIRE).
Judgment is based on the external assumption set by people, society and norms. While judging our subconscious brain first coincides it with past events or related issues then put it in category of likes and dislikes and then gives verdict.
Thus judgment creates enough turbulence in the mind. As judgment is constant evaluation of things in the shade of right and wrong, good or bad, constant evaluation, classifying, analyzing and labeling create enough turbulence of mind.
The silence of self (stillness) is the ground work for the plantation of desire. When desire put in the fertile ground of stillness it manifests. As in a still pond, a simple throw of pebbles creates a ripple, whereas in turbulent mind even a throw of dozens gets unnoticed.
That is why, when in pure silence we introduce our intention, even the
faintest of intention create ripple of fulfillment across the underlying ground of universal consciousness.
