In one famous Marathi movie there is a dialog, "When we are alone or we are at some isolated place way away from our loved ones, we think a lot about ourselves". This is very appealing dialog (Ideally for everyone), I guess she was talking about 'Introspection', really classy word and always seems very difficult to understand, I am always in a puzzle what exactly is this introspection ? I do know the dictionary meaning, but I always wonder to apply it. I tried doing it but honestly its freaking difficult to understand and apply. First thing is your self ego which will take you away from pin pointing your mistakes like the way I always did, When I tried assessing my own way of thinking & mental process somehow I became stubborn, " No I was right whatever I did was correct", and it took hell long to overcome this problem while meditating.
We always try controlling our ego I mean we at least say so, but I hardly manage sometimes 'Now' after specific efforts. Introspection has very strong correlation with meditation and without knowing your own self and without introspecting I don't think anyone could ever do the proper meditation for achieving that higher self within ourselves. I guess we need to understand ourselves deeply before going for next step. When someone could actually introspect himself/herself completely then only that person could go for achieving that higher power through meditation, even Swami Vivekananda has said "All power is within you" , "Believe in yourself" . We need to understand ourselves first and this is what I felt till now.
I think, Guru plays an important role in this matter and give direction to our life and to achieve that particular motto of our life. We have to have one good learned guru, if we want to gain some knowledge especially something like Introspection, Astrology, spirituality, meditation. I don't think so without any Guru you could get the expertise in these fields, and you need to be extraordinarily lucky in order to get that kind of guru to whom you can ask pretty much anything and everything and He will guide you through. These are so rare things to get in our life, not everyone could get it, so those who actually have someone like mentor or Guru I am pretty sure they are endowed with the blessings of that almighty as they have someone to direct.
