There is no goal in meditation. The goal is not to become more spiritual. The goal is not to become more enlightened. The goal is not to reach a state of nirvana. The goal is just to be present in that moment and to witness. Whatever is happening, just be a witness, don’t be identified. You are not the body, you are not the mind, you are not the astral body. You are not the silence, you are not all those flowers that are showering on you. You are only a witness. The witness is the very being of a Buddha
