Before conducting meditation, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explained the meaning of meditation. He explained that meditation is the journey from thinking to realizing what you know. He said, “To meditate, you have to first move away from thinking too much and feel what is there. And then go beyond the emotions and go into the inner space. If you want to become wise, sensitive, then you have to learn to meditate.” Meditation is not passivity. You need to meditate to become more dynamic and peaceful.
