→What is Meditation?
=What is Meditation? =
Meditation means thinking on one subject in a concentrated way. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and-meditation#p2,P3,P4,P5</ref>
==What is the Object of Meditation?==
It is not the length of the meditation that makes the difference [in making one vitally and physically strong]. It is a concentration of the will that is needed.

==Dynamic Meditation==
It is not meditation (thinking with the mind) but a concentration or turning of the consciousness that is important,—and that can happen in work, in writing, in any kind of action as well as in sitting down to contemplate.

It is a meditation that has the power of transforming one’s being. It is a meditation which makes you progress, as opposed to static meditation which is immobile and relatively inert, and which changes nothing in your consciousness or in your way of being. A dynamic meditation is a meditation of transformation.
If one wants the meditation to be dynamic, one must have an aspiration for progress and the meditation must be done to help and fulfil this aspiration for progress. Then it becomes dynamic. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/14-march-1956#p4,12</ref>
