The link below describes the experience of Swami Vivekananda during meditation.
This looks like an extraordinary blissful experience. If this is correct, then why should a spiritual seeker not look at meditation for such experiences? In the presentation on Chapter 6, it was mentioned that meditation is not for these experiences.
Thank you sir. I understand what you are saying. However I am also confused. I have a few further questions.
If meditation is an effect and something which 'happens', then what is term we must use for the Meditation described in Chapter 6? Is it Dhyana? Is there an English word for this?
Closing eyes and observing thoughts - since this is not meditation. What is the correct term for this?
