Meditation

Questioner: All teachers advise to meditate. What is the purpouse of Meditation?

Maharaj: We know the outer world of sensations and actions but our inner world of thougts and feelings we know very little. The primary purpouse of meditation is to become conscious of and familiar with, our inner life. The ultimate purpouse is to reach the source of life and consciousness.

Incidentally,practice of meditation deeply affects our character. We are slaves to what we do not know, of what we know we are masters. Whatever vice or weakeness in ourselves we discover and understand its causes and its workings, we overcome it by the very knowing, the unconscious dissolves when brougth into conscious. The dissolution of the unconscious releases energy, the mind feels adequate and become quiet.

From " I am That "- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Quote

Here are some answers from Sri Ramana Maharshi when asked about the nature of spiritual practices or sadhanas, and how they are ultimately transcended. 

Thorn and Thorn Analogy:

In response to a question about whether the tool of self-inquiry (or any spiritual practice) may ultimately be detrimental to enlightenment, Sri Ramana Maharshi said:

"The mind is the thorn that is used to remove the thorn of the ego, and eventually both are discarded. One thorn is used to take out another thorn, and when it is done, both are thrown away."

Crematory Stick Analogy:

In another context, Sri Ramana Maharshi used the analogy of the stick used in cremation to describe the use of spiritual practices:

"The stick that is used to stir the funeral pyre is itself eventually consumed by the fire. Similarly, the practice or sadhana that leads to the destruction of the ego is itself ultimately transcended."

Spiritual students are prisoners trying to find their way in.

Most of modern spirituality is just spiritual bypassing anyway.
