The Power of Meditation
'Once in Chicago, Swami Vivekananda saw a few boys shooting unsuccessfully for hours at eggshells floating in a river. When challenged by the boys, Swami took the gun and fired twelve shots and each one of them hit the eggshells. The young boys were dumbstruck when the monk told them that he had never used a gun before.
"Then how is it that you shot so well?" they asked. Swami Vivekananda told them that meditation can work wonders.
The powers of mind are almost endless. They can be uncovered and then controlled or directed using Meditation. Meditation is concentrating constantly on the inner self. If it is turned outward it can help us develop extraordinary skill levels, if turned inwards, it can unravel the great potential within the mind. '
