Meditation: An Outline for Practical Study

by Mouni Sadhu

What does Meditation mean? It is the dynamic retention of our awareness on a chosen theme or subject. The condition necessary for the mental practice we call meditation is the ability to unswervingly maintain your awareness on a chosen theme for as long as you decide to continue with the same. It is the power of concentration. There have been several book published on the subject of meditation and a few of them may fairly well elucidate certain aspects of this important art. My aim is to close all the existing gaps and so give the student a manual, from which he may be able to obtain reasonable theoretical knowledge of the subject, plus a systematic guide for the development of practical abilities in himself.

He lived in Poland until World War II and eventually settled in Australia. He primarily wrote about Western and Eastern spirituality, as well as occultism, Hermeticism, and the Yoga traditions of India. His greatest personal influence was Ramana Maharshi. The name "Mouni Sadhu" means "silent monk" in Sanskrit.
