"To meditate is to watch what is, as it is" - Prabhuji
Meditation cannot be taught because it is neither a technique nor a method. It does not consist of doing something, and it is not a physical, mental or emotional practice. Dhyāna cannot be learned, but has to be discovered within oneself through attentive watchfulness. It does not arise from studying or training, but rather it blooms from consciousness itself.
To meditate is to place ourselves in God's hands; to relax in the essence of what we are, because there is nothing that we can do in order to be what we already are, what we always have been, and the only thing we can ever really be.
The essential thing in meditation is the attentive and continuous watchfulness of anything that can be observed, or anything that can be objectified: a flower, a sunset, the breath, the body, thoughts or feelings. The emphasis is not on a particular object, but on the quality of the attention.
Sakshi meditation consists of watchfulness; this means the silent and gradual focus of attention on the physical, mental and emotional levels: our movements, ideas, strategies, feelings, and so forth.
