A visitor: What is the difference between meditation (dhyana) and investigation (vichara)?
Maharshl: Both amount to the same. Those unfit for investigation must practise meditation. In this practice the aspirant forgetting
himself meditates ´I am
Brahman' or 'I am Siva'; thus he continues to hold to Brahman or Siva; this will ultimately end on the residual Being as Brahman or Siva which he will realise to be Pure Being, i.e. the Self.
