Most people imagine that meditation is done to achieve something.
I want to achieve peace of mind'. Some may even meditate for acquiring wealth, prosperity, name, fame, long life, but such achievements do not change the person. The purpose of meditation is the change that should take place thoroughly inside and outside. Acquisitions or achievements will pass away one day or other. The Upanishadic meditations or the Brahma Sutra prescriptions should not be considered as recipes for ulterior achievements.
