Meditative power

When it comes to meditation, I have practiced thoroughly and became so proficient that I can comprehend everything, knowing what and where everything is. When it comes time to meditate, I drop everything and during that time there is only meditation on my mind and absolutely nothing else. However, when duty calls me back to deal with the mundane part of life, I must retreat from the transcendental, step by step, body by body16, from the Arahat body to the physical human body. Once that is accomplished, I can then deal with mundane issues. When my worldly affairs are dealt with, I then return once again to my meditation and leave all earthly problems behind. Unfortunately, we all have to tend to our worldly needs. We have to "battle" with the mundane as well as the supramundane. Between these two worlds, I know how to divide my time. When I meditate, I focus my mind to the center of my body, from the physical human body to the transcendental human body all the way through to the Arahat body--18 bodies in total. Once I attained the Arahat body, the mind encompassed all knowledge. It is a state called "knowing and seeing in all directions". Meditation is like setting sail in the ocean. When you are deep into sea with no shoreline in sight, you can look at your compass and steer yourself in the right direction. Likewise, when you meditate, set your direction by telling yourself what you want to accomplish during the meditation session. Organize your time by clearly separating meditation time from your other tasks. That way you will not be distracted during meditation by thinking of home or work, or this or that. The purpose of meditation is to bring your racing mind to a standstill state.
