Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda That (meditation) is the highest state. . . . When (the mind) is doubtful that is not its great state. Its great state is meditation. It looks upon things and sees things, not identifying itself with anything else. As long as I feel pain, I have identified myself with the body. When I feel joy or pleasure, I have identified myself with the body. But the high state will look with the same pleasure or blissfulness upon pleasure or upon pain. . . . Every meditation is direct super-consciousness. In perfect concentration the soul becomes actually free from the bonds of the gross body and knows itself as it is. (IV. 226) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
