It is difficult to describe anything in words.....

To describe anything in words is difficult; 
it might even cause boredom.
 
But to demonstrate it by deed is easier 
and more pleasant! 
 
Through meditation, spiritual aspirants 
are able to cast off sheaths of ignorance,
layer after layer. 
 
They withdraw their sense perceptions
from contact with worldly experiences.
 
The process that aims at this holy 
consummation alone deserves to be called meditation.
 
For this process, you must be equipped 
with good habits, discipline, and high ideals. 
 
You must be full of renunciation towards
worldly things and their attractions. 
 
Whatever the situation, you should conduct 
yourself with enthusiasm and joy. 
 
Whatever is done must be dedicated
not to eke out a livelihood but for earning bliss  
 
You should train yourself to adopt a good sitting pose
 to avoid tension of the body, and to ease the mind
from the weight and pressure of the body.
 
If you thus truly meditate, you will achieve
oneness with the Divine and experience the joy of realizing the Self within yourself.
