Contemplation is deep thinking — thinking about a particular matter for a long period of time and going deeper to understand it well.
Our quality of life depends on how we feel on the inside. If we feel restless, our quality of life is not very good. If we feel peaceful, our quality of life is good. And how we feel depends on what we think, what we say and what we do.
In the physical world, this is easier to understand because we have physical guideposts available to us. Such physical guideposts are missing in our mental life, so we need to create them on our own.
You must have your own, personal guidelines for yourself. That is what makes you truly independent as you can then find the answers to all your questions yourself.
Contemplation is deep thinking — thinking about a particular matter for a long period of time and going deeper to understand it well. Contemplation is the mother of clarity. Contemplation on such personal guidelines helps you think clearly. If you can think clearly, you make the right decisions. If you make the right decisions, you feel more peaceful.
