What is Meditation?

The goal of life is to know God. To know Him we must learn to apply His laws to everyday living. Meditation is the way by which man begins to commune with God―to know and to love him. When bodily motions cease and thoughts are stilled (“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10) the Lord begins to appear as peace and divine bliss on the altar of tranquility and changelessness. As Jesus assured us, “The kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)

“Meditation is the ability to take the mind away from every object of distraction and put it on God alone.” ― Paramahansa Yogananda
