The mesmerizing Feeling of meditation
The Self cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, not by intelligence, nor by much hearing.
Only by him who seeks to know the Self can it be attained. To him the Self reveals its own nature. Katha Upanishad, 1.2.23 (9) 
Meditation
Meditation is a profound an endless stream of continuous contemplation.
Meditation is abiding in a state of “being” just “being”.
We can also say that meditation is an approach to life that fractures the dividing walls that separates the conditioned mind from spirit.
The states of meditation enchants the practitioner with an expanded state of unadulterated crystal clear and lucid state of consciousness, which finally overcomes the conceptual dual mind.
At its foundation, the purpose of meditation is to attain an unruffled mind.
With time and persistence, we can awaken internal energies that will shake the foundations of being. At this point many unsolved emotions may rise together to the surface, which usually culminates in a complete disintegration of the ego sense.
When a particular spiritual path that involves meditation is undertaken, the aspirant has to pass through five different curious states of the mind.
Patanjali portrays five widely divergent positions of the mind: Mudha, Ksipta, Viksipta, Ekagra and Nirodha.
Ksipta: Is classified as an exceedingly restless psyche, incapable to even process thoughts in a calm way. It is like a monkey’s mind jumping from tree to tree.
Mudha: Here the subject is inattentive, absent, and dull.
Viksipta: The mind is in an elevated state, where it obtains data from different areas of the cosmos, it is also called channeling
Ekagra: The person is alert and only one object occupies his mind. He/she is in a deep state of concentration.
Nirodha: When erratic thoughts are not present any longer and when the mind is in alert, aware and in the present moment, the mind has achieved Nirodha.
Patanjali states that the vital objective of meditation is the obliteration of the Ego/mind
