Meditation is also one form of the Guru. Many will ask now tomeditate and for how long. These are primary and essentialquestions. It is said in the Gita. The vision of the Self isobtained through meditation. In the Srimad Bhagavata it says : "Inthe meditation the Sadhaka becomes the form of God."Just we have occupied in mundane activities, our mind also isimmersed in love for God in meditation. When the mind becomes emptyof thoughts and becomes one with the Self, we reach a very highstate. So we must keep our mind empty. When we wakeup after sleep,we experience a few moments when our mind is free of thoughts. Weshould make our mind peaceful and thought free, so that it becomesno different from the Self. This progress is to come in meditation.What are the Benefits we get by doing Meditation?Meditation is not only for spiritual life, but it also purifies themind. As the mind becomes steady, the breath is retained for shortperiods in 'Kumbaka', which strengthens the nerves, improves bloodcirculation and digestion and increases one's alertness.
