Yogic Analysis
Most people are living a disconnected life.  They do not know that the senses are connected to the five elements.  They think the elements are separate [i.e. exist independently of the senses, what to speak of energy and mind].

The eye and its power to see is connected to the sun, and the sun is connected to yogic fire.  That fire is connected to the power to burn, which is the intelligence that brings an end to ignorance.  Thus the sun bespeaks of the Light of Intelligence in the world.

If one lives in a world of objects and fails to think of God, soon, one misses the point of objects.  What is the tree telling us?  "My desire is in my seeds; I will project more and more of myself."  The ocean is telling us that waves (jivas) are infinite and endless, and yet the depths (Brahman) are changeless.  Objects cannot fulfill you.  Give them up.  They get lost, stolen, worn out, broken, or become boring.  Ask yourself, "What is the nature of the pleasure the objects give?"

To render objects empty is to strip away name and form and sit in that emptiness until the Essence reveals itself.

Unless you know what you are not, you will never know Who you are.  So begin now listing all the objects, things, concepts, and principles that you are not.  When you have your list, don't go shopping!  Toss it in the fireplace; make an offering of it to the Fire-God.

All these changing objects, mechanisms, situations, etc – they are all to point you to the Changeless – that is their sole purpose.

Without that one asana that starts in the mind and ends in the mind, and that takes the body up in the process – without this inner asana, call it right orientation if you will – there can be no real Yoga.

Meditation is not just about quelling the vibrations of the mind, but also, and very importantly, about directing the purified thought current of the mind.  This also becomes important at the time of death, to be able to course inward along powerful currents of thought to the Source.

Everything is a meditation, but it can only become that if you know that it is.
