What is Real Meditation?
Real meditation is when you obtain serenity in the mind, quietness, and give up all thoughts and visions. With experiences, the mind gets involved, and progress in meditation stops. You have to go further toward the Ultimate Truth—Self-Realization. Until all visions, thoughts, and manifestations dissolve and just the Consciousness of Existence remains, one single Self remains, lasting peace will not descend.

More About Meditation
The purpose of meditation is to silence your mind and become aware of your Self as the Consciousness of Existence. Baba speaks about how this technique works.
Meditation is to silence the mind and bring attention onto your Self, rather than the imagined things that are in the mind. In meditation you are watching, you are not thinking.
Meditation requires focus and patience to still the mind, overcome the ego, and merge with the Self, leading to inner peace.
Focus the attention between the eyebrows and patiently “just watch” and the mind will become quiet and peace descend.
You will become an expert one day, if only you practice. Develop the habit of practicing meditation daily.
Real meditation is achieving mental serenity, quietness, and Self-Realization, where all thoughts and visions dissolve, leaving only pure consciousness.
