There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.
If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. That is Devi Puja

Many things embarrass me, but reading isnt one of them. Im not ashamed of my slightly weird collection of prison memoirs. Nor the flaky meditation books. After all, I can pretend I never read those.
The way to freedom is through service to others. The way to happiness is through meditation and being in tune with God. . . break the barriers of your ego, shed selfishness, free yourself from the consciousness of the body, forget yourself, do away with this prison house of incarnations, melt your heart in all, be one with creation.

God gives us opportunity to serve him by serving humanity
Meditation is the eye that sees the Truth, the heart that feels the Truth and the soul that realises the Truth.
Meditation is meeting eternity in the present moment. It is resolving every problem as it comes. It is resolving every tension as it creeps in. It is facing the challenges of life in a non-fearful way.
Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you
Meditation has changed my life
In awareness there is no becoming, there is no end to be gained. There is silent observation without choice and condemnation, from which there comes understanding.
Meditation is when we go beyond incarnation, beyond all cycles, to immortality, to something that is not transient.
