The meditation, meditator, and the world in which meditation is performed are an illusion created out of a single clay. That single clay is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Self-awareness.

In Self-awareness, the invisible Soul, the Self, remains in its own nondual awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion. Self-awareness is real meditation. Thus, Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nature of the Soul, the Self.

Meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get rid of ignorance.

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.

People dip into meditation, but they do not understand that that is only one-half of the truth and that this dipping is also a mental discipline for them to understand the true nature of the external universe, which understanding they must next get if they are to become a Gnani.

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

For meditation, one need not sit and chant God's 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, then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality.

By realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Self-awareness.

In Self-awareness, the invisible Soul, the Self remains in its own awareness in the midst of form, time, and space. Thus, Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nature of the invisible Soul, the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
