What exactly is meditation?

There are so many definitions for meditation.

Different masters have interpreted it according to their own experience, or according to the specific needs of the people they are speaking to.

Meditation is prayer.

Meditation is the process that helps us discover the treasure we have locked up inside ourselves.

Meditation is the technique that helps you connect to the energy of the cosmos.

All of them are right.

And I tell you -- Meditation is just being blissful in the moment! When you are at peace in the present moment, you are already in a state of meditation. You don't need to do anything else.
