Retirement makes people tired….really fast.
People really do not know what they want to do after retirement! Most of them have plans of travel and other exotic vacation. But after a year or two they start withering away. Spending time becomes single most painful event of life. It’s almost true that people age faster and get sicker after retirement faster than earlier.
Meditation is timeless state of being. Most of them probably never had a taste of Meditation. so they find it very difficult to be still.
Just not doing anything becomes the most difficult part of life. When you are not silent and still, then the next thing you do is to demand attention!. In other words you need someone to talk to, someone to love to and someone to spend time with. that’s why old people become so much demanding on Younger ones! Suddenly there is a need for attention. It’s not accidental that Most of the relationships with younger relatives goes for a toss after retirement. Most of them end up in retirement homes.
Retirement of the mind is meditation. If at all you need to retire anything during August time of your life, then retire your mind. Once you understand the nature of stillness then you can see that retirement is beautiful. Let me tell you another open secret! Younger ones are mostly tensed ones! the new generation carry tension of the world. Tension always flows towards relaxation. that’s why younger generation is so much attracted to adventure, Music, drugs,Gambling, porn…etc, that’s because you need a source for relaxation.
When you retire if you can relax more and retire your mind, then chances are you are attracting more people and more energy from your surroundings. Once you become easy on yourself …you become easy on others.
so when you retire please don’t get tired again!pls
so are you ready to retire your mind?

Such a profound article, I just loved your sentence “Once you become easy on yourself …you become easy on others.” I retired recently and my wife is complaining that I have become pain in her…….
I have never done meditation in my whole life. I need to something about me. thank you for waking me up!
What better way to point out this most vital one…beautifully said!!
I am reminded of an incident when a friend of mine (highly disturbed in mind) said, “I am trying to make everyone around comfortable.” I replied, ” If you are comfortable with your own self, rest will automatically be comfortable with you. You dont have to try to make someone comfortable”
many times, people are caught in this trying and failing to see to be just being.
Lovely article & a lovely blog. I think we need to learn to retire our minds long before we retire. We might die before we retire and might never have experienced that natural state of peace that is just waiting to be discovered inside ourselves.
hi,
my father retired a few months ago Though we are trying to support him he got in secured feeling and developed a fear although he did not show it outside we are able to understand him.I think its a natural feeling that everyone gets at that particular age. I will defenietly tell my father to do mediation and find out the changes in him.
Such a great article about meditation. When having inner peace our true selves emerge, we are no longer bound to negativity and other non existent worries. We are more likely to be more of a person. Also check out http://www.iamthechangeiseek.org
