Chapter X MEDITATION
Meditation is fundamental to all the religious practices of an aspirant. Meditation enables a person to understand his true nature and realise the self. It enables man to bring together all his scattered energies and manifests his hitherto concealed potentials. It means living in the present where the memories of the past and imaginations of the future do not perplex the soul.
Yuvācārya Dr. Śivamuni says in his monumental work on meditaion, “Meditaiton binds one to his present life. The purpose of meditation is not to realise peace after death. On the other hand, as soon as you begin to meditate properly you start realising peace and joy in your life. Meditation enables us to perfect our present life so that our future automatically becomes perfected.” ( Dhyāna Eka Divya Sādhanā, Hindi, p. 14).
