Meditation is considered a tool to build internal energy, develop compassion, love, patience, generosity, and forgiveness. Meditation often involves an internal effort to self-regulate the mind in some way. In Rajyoga meditation the key component is knowing self and working on improving self. Without knowing who one is in real- the meditation is in vain. Once, this clarity is achieved that this meditation is done by my thoughts and not by my mouth or hands the practice gets easier. 
Meditation is a technique to dive in deep and find inner peace and emotionally get awareness of self. The foremost step is the knowledge of God. Meditation or Connecting to God.

Our minds are excellent cameras!  We all create varied images in our minds daily. Which is called visualization. Visualizing is to imagine or remember someone or something by forming a picture in your mind. Visualizations make big and small pictures easier for the human brain to grasp and understand,  it also makes it easier to detect patterns, trends, and outliers of pictures.  Its main goal is to distill larger concepts of  meditation into small and doable gestures  for easy understanding of complex concepts within the brain.

Visualization is one of the best ways to get your mind back on track when you feel out of balance. Listening to slow music and visualizing your day helps to organize your thoughts, mentally prepare you, and reduce stress. Numerous studies have shown that mental practice through visualization can be as effective to improve skills as real practice. You can develop and reinforce real skills by visualizing yourself practicing them.

Acknowledging your own self as a soul is the hardest of a task because constantly reminding own- self that you are a soul becomes an ordeal. When at work or dealing with others, this consciousness completely dissolves with the role of the soul and this disconnect opens many doors for the ego to enter. While meditating one has to shut such doors and concentrate on oneself. Once this grand hurdle is crossed, connecting with God becomes like a child's play. In order to get into this soul conscious state , one has to re-enforce one's own self of being the purest form of this energy!

Meditate comes from the Latin word ‘meditari’ which means to think, contemplate, or conceive.  In our daily life we use the term meditation to a broad variety of practices that includes techniques designed to promote relaxation like breathing exercises, hand gestures, which are a practice of 'Hatt Yoga'. Which are based on physical postures and are useful to the body. The other major practice has been a component of numerous religious traditions and beliefs. For centuries it has been done sitting, singing, chanting mantras, counting prayer beads or some other rituals, in order to remind the practitioner about some aspects of meditation. All the outwardly physical efforts are coined as meditation, but in reality meditation means just to connect with your own self.

Hypothetically speaking- Suppose I leave this body this very minute, my body still exists but is without a life. I cannot function in a dead body. All my belongings like my body, my family, my job, my house are still here but I am not here to use them, so who is this- I ? who vanished away leaving me a dead body 

The answer would be the I- the soul or the spirit  residing in this body.  Indeed! I am a soul is not something any of us remember any time- right? Hardly any of us realize it in everyday life. We simply live by the days fulfilling needs and essential requirements of the body. We don't see this subtle energy which is in real our identity so we call ourselves a body and  believe all of the possessions and relations we hold are due to this body. This wrongful image I carry all my life while living in this body. I work timelessly for all my belongings but never take them with me. Most of us know and understand that we slog in vain yet we do what we do lifelong. 

One main and most important detail- that I am a soul is the only thing I don't take care of,rest others I hold very tight, cling on to it and never let it go! 

First of all God can only connect with us on a soul level. He does not have a body therefore he does not see human bodies.  

He is not there to fulfill our wishes, he doesn't punish us, he is not the creator of nature. Nature is eternal, he is not holding us to any of our  wrongdoings, he is not even watching us, and most importantly he is not interfering in our lives at all. God is not a magician, he has no wand which he spins and magically things happen in our favor, he cannot change our fate because he does not write our destiny.

The mightiest of the mighty  HAS A VERY LIMITED ROLE!  

He can only direct us when we establish a relationship with him that too on a soul level. For which we have to have the knowledge of the soul, and its inner qualities and powers. 

Before I begin today's  revelation I would like to announce a disclaimer. My point is not at all to shake your trust, faith or belief in God. I am also not asking to stop praying or keeping you away from any religious practice. My intentions are very clear on revealing who God is from the point of view of rajyog. I would like to remind you again I am not  asking anyone to change your beliefs, faiths, rituals, religious practices or religion. I only intend to share my spiritual knowledge of what I have learned over the years keeping an open mind and seeking logical explanation of it. I  would request all my listeners to do the same... 

In Bhagavad gita in the 4the chapter God says: I am coming, I am coming, when there is a loss of religion, then I am coming, when the iniquity increases, then I am coming to protect the gentlemen, to destroy the wicked I am coming in to establish religion and I am born in the age of era.

In simplified form God very clearly states in Bhagavad, that “I come on earth on the day of judgment. When all religions have reached a point of saturation of wrong faith and doings, when there is total chaos in the human world. When human souls are totally exhausted from living in a mess they created. It is then when I leave my home and come to help you my children” and create a new peaceful world

Now the question arises, coming from where? Why does he say I come from my  home? If he is in temples, shrines, cathedrals, mosques then where is he coming from? Let us see what God says…

Every religion on the planet has any form of light while performing the religious ritual. In Hinduism diyas are lit for any prayer or religious performance. In Islam the main sacred stone in Mecca, has fire lit in front  which is called  the 'noor' and has been lit for ever for many many years. In Christianity the candle is commonly used in worship both for decoration and ambiance, and as a symbol that represents the 'light of God'. Buddhism has candles and incense sticks lit every time for every ritual. Similarly the Jewish synagogues each have their eternal lamp. Pick any faith or religion, everywhere light carries a significant role. 

Mainly because all the religions believe light represents God. All the religious scriptures mention that too. In bhagavad gita God says that I am the highest of the high. I am never born nor do I die. I am absolute Knowledge, I am absolute purity, I am eternal light.  I am Infinite. I am omnipotent. I am an energy in the form of light. A very subtle point of light.    

 Now why just a point of light? 

God further explains that a point is infinite, has no dimensions, no measurements. Point is indestructible and so am I.
