In our attempt to find what constitutes right action and right relationship, we find that one of the vital processes is meditation. This is not merely sitting on the floor morning and evening - but it means keeping up this awareness perpetually. Unbroken awareness is required, otherwise we break our life into pieces - then we do not know who we are.
Yoga brings about total integration - that is why it is so beautiful. If you take isolated little strands of fiber, you may not find any pattern, any order, but once you weave them into a carpet, they become a thing of beauty. We must try to bring order such as this into our life. This can be brought about if there is perpetual self awareness.
If you draw a circle, you can arbitrarily divide it into segments of one inch each. Each segment is part of the whole and if you remove any one part, it is no longer a circle. The part is as vital as the whole.
Everything is a part of the whole. The there is no essential distinction between part and whole. When the whole looks at the part, it sees first of all that the part is in ME. The state of meditation arises when the whole looks at the part and it wakes up to the great truths that this part is part of ME. Without that part I am not the whole.
