Do not be unduly enamoured of meditation. When the mind becomes pure, the worldly desires fall and the ego becomes extinct, meditation will automatically follow. The mind will automatically get absorbed into the Self. May be absorptions will continue until at last you start enquiring about the absorption. "What is this absorption? Where am I getting absorbed? What do I get in absorption that I am missing at other times?" That is the introspection which will finally lead you to the discovery and realization of the Self.
One must understand that meditation also is a transitory state. It begins and ends like anything else in the world. So, if you are looking for the realization of the eternal Truth, you must outlive the beginningful and endful meditation and get hold of the ultimate wisdom that tells you: "I am always the Self. I was the Self even before I knew it, and I will continue to be the same Self eternally." The realization will hold good once and for all.
