Meditation is not focusing attention on the ‘I’, but focusing on the invisible Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the 'I'. +

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.

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

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

Meditation on an object is not helpful. The seeker must learn to realize that the subject and object are one. In meditating on an object, you are destroying that sense of oneness and creating duality. 

Remember:~

Meditation is not focusing attention on the ‘I’, but focusing on the invisible Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the 'I'.

The ‘I’ is not limited to the ego because the ‘I’ is the whole universe.

The ‘I’ is ignorance. Meditation is the total negation of ignorance, which is present in the form of ‘I’.

Only in ignorance there is conflict. There is no conflict in the nondual nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul is ever free and is totally free from conflict.

All the conflicts belong to the dualistic illusion.

Ignorance is the cause of form, time, and space; without ignorance, there is no division of form, time, and space in consciousness.

The nature of the ‘Self’ is the fullness of consciousness, without the illusory division of consciousness.

Attaining nondual Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion is real meditation. :~Santthosh Kumaar
