Why meditation is developed?

• From the very dawn of Indian history the Indo-Aryans gave a great deal of importance to the culture and development of the inner faculties of human life.
• As a result of long experience and experiment, they developed a special system of exercise for increasing the strength, purity and power of those faculties.
• Having established a fundamental theory that of being, they discovered various methods of feeding, strengthening, resting and re-energizing them.
  The science of mediation was developed in India for the purpose of supplying the mind with the necessary nourishment and food, and for giving it proper exercise, rest and relaxation and also for furnishing it with the necessary conditions for growth.
• Therefore, meditation can very well be defined as the science of supplying the mind with food, exercise, rest, relaxation, and favorable environment necessary for the manifestation of its highest perfection.
  Let us try to understand this analogy.
