If there is a doer, then it is not meditation. As long as there is doing, there is ignorance.+

Sage Sankara says the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman (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.

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.

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

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 only the birth, life, death, and the world are experienced as reality.

By realizing the world in which you exist is created out of a 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 Atmic-awareness, the invisible Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness in the midst of the form, time, and space. Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nondual nature of the invisible Soul, the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
