This book consists of questions and answers concerning meditation, asked of Maharaj Charan Singh during the 1960s and 1970s. The reader will find practical advice and encouragement in his explanations of the technical as well as devotional aspects of meditation. The book begins with an overview of the teachings of the saints, and covers (in question and answer format) the purpose of meditation, creating an atmosphere for meditation, the meditation practice, the effects of meditation, and ends with a section on grace, love and devotion as they relate to meditation. The title refers to the meditative state known as “dying while living,” when the soul withdraws from the physical body and enters the spiritual realms within.
