Meditation in Vedanta
Meditation is the process of self-discovery. Let us not believe that our thoughts and feelings are really our true nature. The light of meditation enables us to touch our innermost being directly, and experience wholeness. The meditation experience eliminates struggle with the ego and negative emotions. This is how meditation generates a powerful and precious energy in our whole being. This experience brings indescribable joy, peace, love, and wisdom.

Reflective meditation is a process of deepening our mental abilities - meditation creates a conducive environment in our mind. The increase of focus in meditation makes us vigilant of hostile
forces and wrong thinking, and controls the emotions. Self-actualisation depends on our focussed and concentrated mind.

Dhyana yoga Yoga of meditation We must develop undistorted intelligence to be free from the clutches of external material forces. A quiet life, indrawn stillness, concentration on the Absolute with a pure heart, is indeed the real meditation. The Yogi's thought thus absorbed in the Supreme, is freed from all mundane emergencies. It is true meditation which holds the self through the Self and rejoices in the Self.

The ego in man is the cause of of all errors and the origin of all false values. Our sense of Self-hood should be directed to the deeper levels of our personality to discover our true nature. This is made possible by meditation (Dyana).

A self-image based on the approval of others can never be a true personality. Self doubts make us despair. All complexities of the personality are removed by understanding our tendencies and giving them a higher direction through introspection, reflection and meditation. Let us fill our personality with right thoughts, thus not allowing any wrong thoughts.
