Purpose of meditation

…the best use one can make of these meditations—which are gradually becoming more frequent since now we are also going to replace the “distributions” by short meditations—is to go within, into the depths of one’s being, as far as one can go, and find the place where one can feel, perceive and perhaps even create an atmosphere of unity in which a force for order and organisation will be able to put each element in its place and make a new coordinated world arise out of the present chaos. That’s all.
