Meditation: Its Process, Practice, and Culmination
Swami Satprakashananda
A practical approach to the path and practice of meditation. Included in this study are meditations the swami directed during his scriptural classes, an examination of the four yogas, and a discussion on their culmination in the realization of the non-dual Brahman.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
