Meditation does not mean to sit idle and do nothing. Most of the people believe, to sit in one comfortable posture for a long time doing nothing is meditation. It leads to salvation, but i do not believe in such concepts. I don’t think life is meant for sitting still and doing nothing, instead death serves better for this purpose. Meditation does not mean inactivity. On the contrary meditation means 100 percent efficient activity, thats what i believe. If we talk of any spiritual gurus, may be shree guru nanak dev ji, may be jesus christ, may be lord krishna, they all did not sit idle on the earth by closing their eyes, instead they were morr activr than any other man. Shri guru nanak dev ji did four udasis, he travelled everywhere by foot to serve humanity. Lord krishna participayed in the war of Mahabharata. Lord Ram fought with Ravan and ended his tyranny. And now if we talk about meditation, they all were experts in meditation, but they were not passive. I don’t know why now a days all are making the technique of meditation a passive activity, whereas the real spiritual gurus were 100 percent active. Now the question arises, if they were active, we are also active then where is the difference between the life of them and us. The difference is nowhere else than in the quality of action. Their quality of action is very very different. Their actions were linked to meditation. Their actions have meditational quality. Meditation in itself is nothing. Meditation is just a tool or technique to improve the quality of our actions. Thats all what i believe. When Lord Krishna told we should focus on our actions rather than the results of our actions. Now what does this mean? What was the purpose of Lord Krishna behind that? What i believe, it was said by Him was just to improve the quality of our actions. If we focus on our actions without any expectations, then it is obviously going to improve the quality of our action because then our intentions remain undivided.  So meditation means to do the quality actions. Those who sit passively doing nothing on the notion of meditation, sooner or later they come to realize they are fooling themselves. So we must take care of ourselves and we should not fall in the traps of so called spiritual leaders, because the trap set by them is not for improving your lives but for filling their pockets with dollars.
