Meditation is not a means to find the truth hidden by the illusory form, time and space.+

Meher Baba: ~ ‘Meditation has often been misunderstood as a mechanical process of forcing the mind upon some idea or object. 

Meditation is not Advaitic wisdom. Meditation is not a means to find the truth hidden by the illusory form, time and space. Without realizing the ‘Self-is not you but the Self is the Soul all the effort used in the meditation leads to hallucinate thoughtlessness. The thoughtlessness is not wisdom. by ending the thoughts you may get peace, not Advaitic wisdom. 

Ashtavakra says: ~ “This is your bondage, that you practice Samadhi or meditation.”

Meditation is progressive steps and there is no need to condemn them. The religion and yoga are not the end, for they can never directly lead to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. All other teachings and practices other than self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana are for beginners only. There are stages in comprehending the truth.

The meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get rid of ignorance. Ignorance will not vanish by reaming without the thoughts or focusing attention on some object. 

Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation. 

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, it is fatal to ask him to give up meditation.

The novice seekers must understand that yoga is all right in its places and that it is good at the beginning of the pursuit of truth, but when yoga is made ends in itself and not means to acquire the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The yoga and meditation are not useless, they are useful to bring the restless ego under control. Yoga and meditation are not final. Indulging in yoga and meditation, it will lead not lead to the ultimate end of understanding. Yoga cannot remove ignorance. It is only a step. It removes obstructions. 

Remember:~ 

For meditation, one need not sit and chant Gods name or concentrate on some object. Anything you do will not be meditation. If there is a doer then it is not meditation. As long as there is doing, there is ignorance. 

As long as the doer is present, the ego is present. If the ego is present the whole world is present. If the world is present the duality is present. If the duality is present then there is an illusion. If the illusion is present the birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality. 

Atmic path is nothing to do with religion and yogic path. Atmic path is the path of wisdom. All your accumulated knowledge is nothing to with the Atmic path. Atmic path is not a path of discussion or exchange of views and opinions but the direct realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion. 

The seeker must have the patience to open the blogs and posting and read. It will not only help you to clear all your cobweb of doubts and confusion. Without reading the blogs trying to argue on your own yardstick, is not of any use. Whatever you have read, whatever you have heard and accumulated becomes a hindrance in realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space. 

All your egocentric accumulated cocktail knowledge is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana Soulcentric knowledge is not available in the spiritual supermarket.

All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is of no use in the quest for truth. The seeker has to discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually, the seekers will start assimilating and realizing ‘what is the truth’ and what the untruth is. Repeated reading my blogs and postings make the seeker Soulcentric and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.:~Santthosh Kumaar
