					<description><![CDATA[I am the one who was searching for perfect path for a long time, never found one. I started meditation by myself. It was beneficial. Then, I came to know about Akram Path and started reading about it. I also was confused and trying to ignore this path since it apparently never gave importance to meditation. 

But i would say read it thoroughly and you will understand that this path never rejected meditation. In fact according to it only right meditation will lead you to enlightenment.

What Akram Path says? The meditation most of people are understanding and doing these days is not actually a meditation. Sitting in some posture and meditating on some thing. It is not actually a meditation but &quot;Concentration&quot;. Meditation is not something to be done it is sahaj and one remains in 1 of the 4 &quot;Dhyan&quot;. Like if you are angry on someone you naturally dont think anything else and just think about that person and how to make that person unhappy and uncomfortable. That is 1st for of meditation which is adverse meditation which finally leads yourself in state of misery.

Similarly when you just start thinking about soul and enquire &quot;Who am i?&quot; that gradually leads you to the real state of your own being as supreme consciousness - paramatma.
If you remain in this second option with sahaj bhav then it is highest of all meditation.

Also, in akram you dont even have to think who am i because akram science has already given almost full description of soul so you just need to contemplate on properties of soul and you will end up being a pure soul devoid of all non self matter.

So, After a year and half, I ended up confirming it with myself that I was wrong about Akram initially, This was the day i really understood what meditation is. 

Some people like me usually have enough ego that prevents them to break the belief systems they are having since birth and understand the reality as it is.
But I was the lucky one who was able to break it out of sufferings in life.

This science is elaborated version of what raman maharshi said 
&quot;Know who you are, everything else will be known&quot;

Also, this is not really a spiritual path or religious stream but its a perfect science of existance. Let people make it a path or religion out of their own understanding but it in reality is not. I would say dive deep in it and you will find soemthing unmatchable.

Also listen to gnanvanis to get rid of confusion related to &quot;God as Creator&quot;

Deepak you are a great and mature soul. I would say you should also analyse and understand this science not becuase you are lacking something in your service to mankind, Just because you can add something to it.]]></description>
