What is meditation?       

Meditation means no mind. All our desires, assumptions, imaginations and its consequential pleasures and pain, the resultant understanding, our pride everything is in the mind. We are constantly struggling with the process of the mind and getting lost in disillusionment and desperation.

When we are awake our sense organs and senses are operating with the mind and with the external world. In dream the sense organs are put off but the senses and the mind are operating and creating a world inside. When the mind is over burdened with activity, it puts off by itself and remains in its natural state of relaxation which we call sleep. In dreamless sleep the sense organs, senses and the mind are put off so the inner enjoyer and sufferer, our ego, remain disconnected with the Image of oneself created by the knowing process. By deep sleep we ward of our tensions and consequential fatigue. At times the rest which comes out of sleep is insufficient to release the deep seated tensions.

It is certain that in waking state we are active and alert. In dream we are more restful but still active. In deep sleep we are neither alert nor active. It shows that in deep sleep though we are in our natural state of rest we are resting in ignorance. If we can generate a condition in which we can remain alert with the same restfulness which we get in sleep, the process of releasing tensions will be much faster. In sleep there is no mind. Meditation is in a way sleeping with awareness.

Meditation provides a fourth dimension of consciousness in which we are absolutely in a state of restful alertness that we are fully aware of our own being in its natural state that everything is unified in us.

There is no separation between matter, mind and consciousness. When the mind appears with all its turbulence,  the one who is habituated in meditation could certainly see that appearance, whatever may be, as part of the natural state. He will not be perturbed by the routines of living. He will be very creative as he has understood the basic principle of existence.

A meditator can relax in the source beyond the mind. To go beyond the mind and relax in the potential source is absolutely essential for a dynamic life. The very nature of life is dynamic. It is quite natural for a being to be there in his essence. To be with the essence is meditation where you are the all at all times!
