Sri Aurobindo & The (d.i. Mira Alfassa) Mother 
All Life Is Yoga: Meditation 

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on meditation, concentration and contemplation. ‘What do you call meditation? Shutting the eyes and concentrating? It is only one method for calling down the true consciousness. To join with the true consciousness or feel its descent is the only thing important and if it comes without the orthodox method, as it always did with me, so much the better. Meditation is only a means or device, the true movement is when even walking, working or speaking one is still in sadhana.’ (Sri Aurobindo)
