![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [2 of 4] The Hindu technique of mediation is something Jesus warned us about. He told us not to pray like the pagans, who babble on and on. The Greek root is almost a direct translation from "barbar," referring to the barbarians who lived in foreign lands. The Greeks called them barbarians because when the Greeks heard them speak, it just sounded like, "brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah…”; So, Jesus is telling us not to be like the pagans, who sound like barbarians when they pray to their idols. And that is precisely what mantras during meditation are; just repetitious babbling. Jesus said not to do it because it’s not the same as biblical prayer. When we Christians pray, obviously it is not focusing our mind on repetition of meaningless words or phrases. We pray directly to God, speaking to Him using our mind and intelligible words to have a conversation; telling Him how much we love Him and asking for help. | image tagged in meditation,hindu,prayer,bible,god,pagan | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/42d7ol.jpg)
