We live in a very noisy world. And I don't exactly mean noise that you can hear, although that contributes for sure. What I'm talking about is confusion, chaos, and the unrest they create in the minds of people.

Maybe it is these unprecedented times that are making me think like this but I can't help but feel that we are building an ever more chaotic world for ourselves and for the future generations.

Every aspect of human life just feels more and more complicated as the days go by. In the past century, with each new invention and with more and more technological progress, we had imagined that it would make human life increasingly simple.

What we are witnessing is quite the opposite of it. Or at least, that's how I feel. In such a world, clarity of mind is an absolute gift. And those who have it will be able to sail through all of the noise effortlessly.

Why Clarity?

When you are in the midst of a storm, you can't see where you're headed. This can cause you to trip over things and fall down. This is what is happening to us right now.

Due to the chaotic condition of the world (comparable to a storm), we are not able to see where we are headed in our lives. This has caused many to trip and fall. Suffice it to say, it has caused a lot of stress and depression.

Having clarity during such a testing phase is thus, a godsend. It gives you the power to penetrate through the storm and see clearly the path ahead. Naturally, you are able to avoid the pitfalls and make your way unscathed.

But how do you gain clarity? Now, that is the million-dollar question. The only way I know how is through meditation. But I'm going to be honest with you. In chaotic and stressful times, meditating feels harder than climbing Mount Everest.

I guess, times like these teach us all how important it is to go within yourself and be at peace with your inner self despite all hell breaking loose in the outside world.
