About this listen

In this session, we explore the difference between meditation and contemplation as discussed in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verses 14-17. Meditation (dhyānam) is described as a mental action for purifying the mind, while contemplation (nididhyasanam) is a means of knowledge to reveal the already true limitlessness.

The session delves into the results of meditation and contemplation, emphasizing the development of trust in Ishvara's infallible order as a path to peace and tranquility. It discusses the concept of absolute peace and cautions against mistaking it for constant bliss.

Practical lifestyle recommendations for successful meditation are provided, including moderation in eating and sleeping habits. The importance of mindfulness in activities is stressed, with guidance on becoming more deliberate and gaining mastery over sorrow or sadness from Vedantic perspective.
