Religious life, beauty and meditation go together. They are not states to be compartmentalised and kept separate.

What is meditation?

Is it possible to have a brain that only records that which is absolutely necessary and not record anything else?

There is no exercise of will at all in meditation.

There is a silence which is entirely different, the silence of a brain that has no movement of thought. In that silence alone there can be that which is sacred.

The meaning of meditation is to gather all our energy which is now being dissipated, so that our consciousness is totally empty of its content. Where there is this emptiness and space, there is vast energy. That energy is sacred.
