Question: In concentration, we must concentrate on something small and in meditation we must concentrate on something large?
Sri Chinmoy: During meditation we are not concentrating. At that time, we are just feeling and observing the vastness around us. In contemplation, we are merging into the Supreme Reality and becoming inseparably one with that Reality. God the Creator and God the creation are becoming one in contemplation.
