When you can focus your mind on a certain object, something like your breath (your personal reality) but I guess it could also be something like a mantra (an imagined or conceived external phenomenon), the thoughts die away and you loose all sense of who you are and you become pure consciousness without any movement in the mind, no concept of I, your mind just observing...at such moments you can connect to cosmic intelligence...it is only that experience and that connection which is of value, it can completely transform a person's experience and understanding of life...don’t just sit in the house try to learn to master your mind and open up to a higher reality, pool of infinite compassion and joy...I can not say I live connected to that infinite ocean of love but having got glimpses of it I realise all the battle is in quietening the mind and living with bare minimum reality that has appeared and dissolving all the concepts...that journey is a spiritual journey which everyone has to walk on eventually....here the intellect has no role to play since the object of observation is from a completely different realm and not limited to logic which belongs to a very low level of intelligence...a completely new wholly different faculty needs to be sharpened for this ... and mind while being of utmost importance is also the biggest enemy unless it is grounded in reality...here I mean not a mental reality but the physical reality as asserted by quantum physics i.e. There is no matter...everything is pure energy and it is in a constant flux and a flow...unless you can sharpen the mind to clearly see this reality at all times your vision will always be distorted and you will be stuck protecting your imaginary ego for ever and ever...
