When meditation is perfected, we come into contemplation. is is the fourth step. In contemplation, we discover the wholeness of the fl ower. en we go deeper, deeper, deeper within, into the energy and the life within the cells of the fl ower, and we fi nd that the energy and the life in the fl ower is the same as the energy within us. e fl ower is in us, and we are in the fl ower. We are so very alive that we can’t even move. We’re not even thinking! Yogaswami once said, “I went in and in and in, and so deep within, that a bird was si ing on my head.” Why is that amazing? Because the bird did not even know he was a person and felt no fear. In that moment, Yogaswami was si ing in deep contemplation!
