Restlessness

[Jitendra Hydonus]

I have yet to get a clear grasp on this topic because I feel complete peace at times after meditation and no restlessness. However, for me restlessness is also a motivation for physical motion and activity. There it is an inspiring motivation for all types of exercise.

I have found some environments to be restless. So it is more challenging to meditate in such atmospheres. Other places like deep in the woods or often near a quiet ocean - where the ocean waves are falling on the shore - or next to a river listening to it flow are much more conducive to meditation.

People are so restless they disrupt the plans of others because they are unable stay in one place or at one task for any amount of time. That is why we spend so much time at meditation. We are able to sit and quiet the mind or stay on a task till its completion or till the time we set to work on something has arrived.

Western culture is so absorbed in ‘doing’ than in ‘being’ this is one reason why we see so much war and friction caused by restless thought and mindets.
