We see the outer world through our open eyes and when we close them, and look into our inner Self, through our third eye, it is called a state of Meditation. There are thousands and thousands of thoughts running through our mind every second and the gap between the two consecutive thoughts is too tiny. When we do meditation, the frequency of the thoughts decrease gradually and the gap between the two consecutive thoughts increase and is more frequent. This gap is nothing but Meditation.
