A Profoundly Deep Benefit of Meditation that Very Few Talk About
Not the cliche stress, anxiety, or productivity benefits
I’ve meditated 100+ hours so far — and it’s been life-changing.
Lower anxiety. Sharper focus. Better emotional control. Greater empathy. Deeper mental peace.
The same cliche benefits that research and thousands of anecdotes affirm.
But there was one surprising benefit I had no idea existed — or seen being talked about on the internet.
And its profundity blew all the other positives out of the water.
You Don’t Have a Soul
Science claims we’re bodies with minds. Philosophy sees us as minds with bodies. Most Western religions believe we’re bodies with souls.
But Hinduism and other eastern religions view us as souls with bodies.
So, we don’t “have” a soul — we are the soul and we have a body.
“Once you experientially know that you’re not the body and not the mind, there is no possibility of suffering for you”
— Sadhguru
