Know Thy Self !

How do you meditate? Its like trying to communicate with yourself to expand within yourself. When you are in synch with your Self, you are in synch with nature. Everything is a reflection of your own true self. You can say that you are communicating with God. In complete stillness, there in lies God. There should be total silence, complete stillness, no life, no death but you stay aware. When you expand further, you realize that there is no mental reality, emotional reality, physical reality. In that final stillness, there is no communicator, no communication, nothing.

You can't change anything, you can't control anything. Everything is perfect just as it is. Try to see the beauty as it exists. A crow has its own beauty- the shiny black coat of feathers reminds us of darkness which leads us to lightness. There is a perfection in black. Because black exists, white has its own significance.
The mind is a tricky thing. Our ideas are tricky things with which we create a strong sense of self-identification. Watch your mind, watch the thoughts that arise in your mind, be a witness. Everything that goes on in your mind is like a movie playing out on a screen. Once the mind switches off then nothing exists anymore just the blank movie screen. From this still nature, you will be able to see the entire universe.
