Meditation is the art of withdrawing our attention from experience to the experiencer. It is  as simple as that.

The most important question that mankind has ever encountered is 'Who am I?' But it is a question which cannot be answered by anyone other than yourself. It can only be answered through a deep inquiry into the core of your own being.

Consciousness does not exist without that of which it is conscious. Reality and illusion are the same — you see illusion only because of the reality. Truth is that which never changes. Nothing is permanent except the experiencer who receives all differing experiences. The experiencer is consciousness — and consciousness alone is the truth.

We have spent all of our time with what we are observing. We have not had the time to turn about and see who the observer is — to see who is sitting within the human body.

The only experience of which you can be sure that it is an experience and not an  assumption — is that you are conscious. Reject all other assumptions you have made and hold onto only this one fact — that you are conscious.

The soul or spirit is a drop of the ocean of the True Lord. We have completely forgotten the way by which to return to our original Home — which is an abode of bliss, ineffable peace, love and joy, and where there is no birth or death.

The spiritual force is more than a sound, yet cannot be heard. It can be felt, but it is not a vibration. It can create, but it is not the mind. The spiritual force is consciousness itself — it is the essence of both Man and God.

Whatever is mine cannot be me. We say this body is mine — yet this body cannot be me. We say this is my mind — yet the mind cannot possibly be me. Then what is the 'me'? You have never encountered your self. You have never come face to face with your self — there has been no meeting.

The purer mind gets to the inner regions earlier. Where the mind is foul, the progress is slow. When the understanding is clean and pure, the result is almost instantaneous.

The truth is that there never was a drop. The ocean has always remained an ocean. There is only the illusion that it is a drop.

Meditation and Surat Shabd Yoga

From childhood, we are taught to direct our attention outwards, focusing on our physical body and five senses. Meditation is a method in which the attention is withdrawn inwards, instead of outwards, to discover one's deeper truth or Self, commonly known as enlightenment or awakening.

Surat Shabd Yoga is an ancient meditation technique involving listening to inner sounds, which Dr. Ishwar Puri found to be the quickest method of inverting attention inwards. Derived from ancient Indian languages, 'Surat' means attention, 'Shabd' means sound current or audible life stream and 'Yoga' means union.
