The more meditation goes deep, the more you will become master of your own thoughts. You will say, "Stop!" and the mind stops. You will say, "Move!" and the mind begins to move.

So you must demand freedom at the very beginning, and not just wait, hoping to have it at the end. You must seek out the significance of freedom in your work, in your relationships, in everything that you do. Then you will find that meditation is creation.

Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger.

This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it.
