Readings on meditation

Yoga—by yoga I understand a system that integrates cognition, insight, emotion, body, and experience that is always experimental with regard to means and ends.. That is, there is no final expertise in yoga but ongoing experiment and reflection in relation to fundamental purpose.

Meditation—a part of yoga, is also experimental. It is not only an exercise or a practice (e.g. of contact with the real) but, in action, brings one back in the moment to the small and large essentials requiring attention—it is a practice in avoiding ruts.
