“What have you gained from meditation?” someone asked Mahavira, founder of Jainism, a contemporary of Buddha and equally enlightened. “I have gained nothing actually,” the sage said smilingly. “But, I’ve lost much including my anger, pride, lust and misconceptions.”

Meditation is about knowing and feeling that you are complete, perfect, whole.
The golden rule of meditation is: you cannot not think about something by thinking about it.
