Is it
true that in meditation a person is oblivious to his surroundings?
It depends
on the degree of advancement of his meditation. If one develops
strong enough concentration, the meditator will experience nothing
but his own internal awareness. At this stage the crystal ball
will be very bright and clear. The meditator will have the experience
of being completely alone in solitude. It is a moment of delight,
a moment of joy, a moment of satisfaction and happiness in the
depths of the mind.
