Can we go into the question of meditation, as a comprehensive total approach to life which implies the understanding of what meditation is?
I do not know if any of you meditate and I do not know what meditation means to you.
What part has meditation in education and what do we mean by meditation? We give so much importance to the getting of a degree, the getting of a job, to financial security; that is the entire design of our thinking.
And meditation, the real enquiry into whether there is god, the observing, experiencing of that immeasurable state, is not part of our education at all. We will have to find out what we mean by meditation, not how to meditate. That is an immature way of looking at meditation. If one can unravel what is meditation, then the very process of unravelling is meditation.
Powerful introduction.
