ONE CANNOT DO MEDITATION…………..

Meditation is a conscious sleep – fully aware but at the same time both body and mind are fully rested. Sleep is also in a way meditation but unawares and unconscious. What we call sleep is unawareness because in sleep we lose our consciousness and we are not aware of our existence. However when the same thing happens in awareness, we call it a meditation. Meditation bhitar se jagne ki kala hai - meditation is to become aware from within. Being meditative or meditation becoming a quality means being fully aware 24/7 – also known as enlightened state i.e. the state in which one has just become a gyaata (knower) or saakshi (witness) or drashta (observer) to everything. The important thing about meditation is that one cannot do meditation like one cannot have a sleep by trying to sleep because meditation is not a doing. Watching one’s thoughts or one’s breath too is not a meditation because watching also becomes a doing. Meditation is a non-doing i.e. you are not doing anything both at the body and mind level but you are simply there. In fact all the saadhna or practices are to prepare and move the saadhak in that direction only so that meditation can happen naturally like a sleep. We can only practice doing meditation which means to practice sitting still - still in body, still in mind (includes both thoughts and emotions) but fully conscious and alive. When we have done enough practice of this then only can the meditation happen which means to have become pure awareness…………BeAware
