In religious literature and music there is often the encouragement to “dive deep” within. Prayer and meditation help us do just that. What does diving deep inside oneself really means? What are the benefits of this kind of inner exploration?

“In all organized religions, their founders, prophets, and messengers went into states of mind that were neither waking nor sleeping. They realized things there much more intensely than we realize facts around us in our waking state.”

“All the orthodox systems of Indian philosophy have one goal in view, the liberation of the soul through perfection. The method is by yoga. The word yoga covers an immense ground, but both the Samkhya and Vedanta Schools point to yoga in some form or other.”
