Vethathiri Maharishi defines meditation in simple terms. Meditation is a psychic practice to elevate knowledge and to enable us to to know the nature of the mind. It is a good turn to edify oneself to the higher state of consciousness. Generally, the mind is working through the senses and with the perceptive experiences. The mind is in a self forgotten state and becomes intoxicated with sensual experiences, without knowing its own existence, without maintaining its well-being and without purifying the contaminants then and there.

If the mind is engaged only in the sensual activities, it becomes a one sided-load and develops tension and frustrations by itself. Meditation relieves the mind from such difficulties and maintains equilibrium and peace.

We have to always be aware of the fact and retain in constant memory, that is, what is mind, what is the behaviour of the mind and what is the character of the mind. Answering each of them Vethathiri Maharishi peels the layer of the mind and gives us a comprehensive understanding of it.

What Mind is, that is Man. What Man is, that is Mind. This is an important point to the Truth Seekers and Spiritualists. Meditation is a perceptive approach. Mind traces the base of its own. What was missing in its carriers, the mind makes it up through meditation.

Most of us spend a lifetime searching for a remedy to the stress and overwhelm of modern life. Meditation is the way to still our, a way to infuse our every moment with the bliss of a monk meditating in the clouds.
