An Analysis of Meditation

In this short talk, Swamiji explains the depths that a seeker can go to in meditation. Quoting and explaining from Gaudapa Karika, he says that when the mind is not in a stupor and it is not distracted, when the mind is without any movement or thoughts, it has attained Brahman.

When there is no emergence or dissolution, there is no bondage, there is no liberation, no sadhaka who is doing Sadhana for liberation, that is the state of the Supreme Truth.

Shlokas chanted in the track:

यदा न लीयते चित्तं न च विक्षिप्यते पुनः ।
अनिङ्गनमनाभासं निष्पन्नं ब्रह्म तत्तदा ।।
(Gaudapada Karika 3.1.46)

न निरोधो न चोत्पत्तिर्न बद्धो न च साधकः ।
न मुमुक्षुर्न वै मुक्त इत्येषा परमार्थता ॥
(Gaudapada Karika 2.1.32)
