Transcript

00:00Meditation is one thing. Methods of meditation are another thing.

00:03It's a problem, an unfortunate problem that today the methods are being called as meditation.

00:11Meditation is understanding itself and if meditation is so valuable that it is at the

00:17center of our humanness, then meditation has to be continuous, uninterrupted, 24x7.

00:24And no method can be continuous or uninterrupted or 24x7.

00:28Some method will require you to not to speak. Some method will require you to squat on the

00:33floor. Some method will require you to wait for a particular time, let's say 4am in the morning.

00:39Consciousness needs meditation all the time just as the body needs the breath all the time.

00:45And therefore meditation has to be silent and continuous like breath itself.
