Book Reviews of Meditation and Its Practice

Book Review: Simple, Comprehensive, practical and very helpful.
Summary: 5 Stars

Here are some clear statements:

Page: ix

"Like the banks of a river, " he said, "meditation channels awareness to be aware of itself. As with other actions you perform, meditation is a systematic process.

When you understand the process, it becomes more reliable and leads to deeper experiences."

Page: 1

"Meditation is a specific technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totaly different from the normal waking state. In meditation, you are fully awake and alert, but your mind is not focused on the external world or events taking place around you. Neither is your mind asleep,
dreaming, or fantasizing. Instead, it is clear, relaxed, and inwardly focused."

Page: 9

"Meditation is not contemplation or thinking. Contemplation, especialy the contemplation of inspiring concepts or ideas such as truth, peace, and love can be helpful, but it is different than the process of meditation."

"When you engage in meditation, you do not ask the mind to think about any concept, but rather to go beyond this level of mental activity."

Page: 10

" In meditation, you do not make any attempt to give the mind a direct suggestion or to control the mind. You simply observe the mind and let it become quiet and calm, allowing your mantra to lead you deeper within, exploring and experiencing the deeper levels of your being."

Similar clear explanation and guidance is provided on all the steps of meditation, which, I think, is very helpful to resolve any mis-conceptions and make the process of meditation easy and fault-proof.

The chapter on "Questions and Answers on the Practice of Meditation" pretty useful.

The book is very helpful as it clears all doubts and mystery about meditation and sets the seeker on a right footing.
