What Is Meditation

Meditation is the greatest plunge by the man into himself, it is a jump which takes the form into a leap, it is a simple and effective process where nothing much is to be done, it is the art of doing nothing, which has no actions, no thoughts,  wherein your thoughts are simply allowed to pass without interfering with them, it is nothing but an expression of total calmness,  peace and love , all this comes  from the silence of within, it is only in meditation that you can reach the depth of the silence.

Meditation is a simple technique about which nothing much can be spoken off because it is a matter of experience, it is a state where your body, your mind has nothing much to do,  where all the activities come in stillness because in meditation while you are completely relaxed, you simply watch your thought , you watch yourself, you watch your being,  you watch your actions, it is the process of just being yourself,  it is a myth that you cannot be taught meditation or you cannot learn it,  a master can teach you meditation, slowly by putting an effort you can come into state of meditativeness.

Meditation can also simply be expressed by saying it is a process where there is no application of the min , where there is no thinking , where there is absolutely nothing to do , it  is not about concentrating, it is not about reciting any mantras or making any sound, it has nothing to do with any religion,  it is not imagining, not contemplating, it is not about idol worship, or prayers, or rituals, in meditation you are just simply relaxed in your total comfort and you are doing nothing,  by doing nothing it can be only meant that you are only simply watching your thoughts,  thoughts just pass one by one and you do not flow with the thought,  one thought comes and  goes,  the other comes and it goes, you remain simply an observer, a watcher – a witness.

Meditation has a calming effect it directs awareness inwards until pure awareness is achieved, Meditation can be described as "being awake inside without being aware of anything except awareness itself, in brief, there are dozens of specific styles of meditation practice, and many different types of activity known as meditative practices or meditation techniques.
