"You are free to choose, but you are not free to the consequences of
your choice", that is the message which is often heard in the world of
decision making. When it comes to life in particular, any decision have
consequence, some even make life more complicated from time to time. One who
make decision with dirty mind will experice dirty life as well.
That is the reason why the wise often deliver a message like this: "Do
not ever make a promise when you are too happy, do not ever make important
decisions when you are deeply sad". Especially because when emotions are
extreme, the mind is far from clear and clean.
In the moment when the mind is far from clear and clean, any decisions will
make life more complicated from time to time. And all important decisions are
recommended to be made when the mind and the emotion are perfectly balance in
the middle.
That is why one meaning of meditation is an art to always come back to the
middle. When the mind is too chaotic or too peaceful, learn to be back to the
middle. When emotion is too sad or too happy, learn to be back to the middle.
It is similar to tune the strings of guitar. If the strings are too tight, it
can be broken, if the strings are too loose, it does not produce any sound.
In the moment when mind and emotion are peacefully rest in the middle, by
then someone can produce a wonderful decision which is similar to the beautiful
sound of the guitar. And in order to find the midpoint, it does not only take
time and but also it takes perseverance. More than that, one also need a deep
sensitivity to listen to the inner voices.
Let's remember what happen inside when you are deeply sad or extremely
happy. There are a lot of noises within. The same thing happens to the mind, in
the moment when someone think that they are extremely right or extremely wrong,
a lot of noises also appear within.
And meditation does not try to throw away these noises, but simply witness
the nature of mind and emotion which are appear and disappear. The perseverance
to always witnessing like this, that is the way meditation guides you to
return back to the middle.
Any spiritual seekers who often rest perfectly in the middle, their mind
are no longer grip them, their emotion are no longer shake them. In the technical
language of meditation, the energy of anger and other negative emotions are
remain inside, but the energy of awareness is far greater than the energy of
negative emotions.
Consequently, every time they make important decisions, everything appear
to be clear and clean. The end result is predictable, most decisions that they
make contribute a lot in making life more peaceful. Not only peaceful inside,
but also peaceful outside.
It is the decisions like these that lead earth towards a more luminous place.
A spiritual place where souls can grow and glow. Similar to the electrical
light, the negative is not discarded, but the negative and the positive are
synthesized. This kind of decisions can only be made by luminous souls who
perfectly rest in the middle.
