Entire world was captivated
by the news stream of rescue mission of “Wild Boars”, the Thai football team of
twelve teenage boys and their coach of twenty five years at Tham Luang caves.
It’s a miracle of sorts that
all these boys were found after ten days of uncertainty and subsequent rescue
operation requiring the services of expert divers and many more common people.
It was amazing to see the
images of these boys flashed on social media soon after their discovery by
search team.
What was more amazing was
the calmness and cheerfulness on those faces!
Now as the details of rescue
operation are trickling in, it is clear that the twenty five year old coach
Ekapol Chanthawong has played major role in keeping the spirit of the 12 boys
intact. It’s incredible to hold on to hope, will to live, in that dark cave for
ten days before their discovery by a search team.
The coach did this by teaching meditation, giving all of his food and water to those twelve boys!
Meditation helped them to
move from darkness of the cave to the lime light of the world!
Meditation helped them to
choose life in that dangerous, uncharted cave complex.
This episode simply uncovers
the myth that meditation has to be learnt and practiced over a long time to get
any real benefits. This may be true only if one tries to do meditation.
But learning to be in
meditation is easy.
So shift focus from Doing
Meditation to Being in meditation!
