I have tried to summarize my observation with vivid and simple manner.

The mind
The mind itself must become the unknown- To receive the unknown, the mind itself must become the unknown.

The mind is the result of the thought process, the result of time, and this thought process must come to an end.

The mind cannot think of that which is eternal, timeless; therefore, the mind must be free of time, the time process

of the mind must be dissolved. Only when the mind is completely free from yesterday, and is therefore not using

the present as a means to the future, is it capable of receiving the eternal. That which is known has no relationship

with the unknown; therefore, you cannot pray to the unknown, you cannot concentrate on the unknown, you cannot

be devoted to the unknown. All that has no meaning. What has meaning is to find out how the mind operates, it is to

see yourself in action.Therefore, our concern in meditation is to know oneself not only superficially, but the whole

content of the inner, hidden consciousness. Without knowing all that and being free of its conditioning, you cannot

possibly go beyond the mind's limits. That is why the thought process must cease and, for this cessation, there must

be knowledge of oneself. Therefore, meditation is the beginning of wisdom, which is the understanding of one's

own mind and heart.
