"The science of meditation transcends the totality of human experience.
The aim of meditation is to raise the awareness to such a state or dimension where one no longer experiences the motion of consciousness and energy.
It has been described in the Upanishads as a conscious state where 'the sun does not shine, the moon does not give light, the fire does not burn', and once a person reaches that stage, he does not return."
