True meditation does not have a meditator

Reminds me of a quote from Ashtavakra Gita....

He whose mind does not set out to meditate or act, still meditates and acts but without an object. 18.31

I do not see any purpose of meditation if there is a meditator involved. As that goes against the principle of meditation. In true meditation, there is no meditator. There is no one trying to meditate. 

As the quote states here, he whose mind does not set out to meditate but still meditates. This is such a beautiful statement and if you truly understand what it means, you will appreciate its beauty. 

I am not setting out to meditate but I still meditate. Beautiful! 

This is true meditation. Then meditation happens without a meditator. 

So sit for meditation but let not the meditator appear in this process. 

No such thing as Self Knowledge or Self Realization

Now before all the seekers start jumping on me, let me explain what I am trying to say here :)

There is no such thing as self knowledge or the knowledge of the self. The Brahman of the Upanishads or the Self/Absolute of the philosophers can never be known by anyone other than itself.

Because if the Absolute can be known, it becomes an object of knowledge. And how can an object be the truth? So that is ruled out.

But still there are self realized people. And I am not denying the existence of self realized people. But they do not know the self. They can never know the self. So why are they self realized? What does it exactly mean?

I will not give an answer to this question. Rather I want you to contemplate on this question. What is Self Knowledge or Realization when the Self can never be known or realized by anything other than the Self itself.

I will give one hint to a serious seeker that may open the doors to a new realization. Self is beyond time, beyond space. And the mind that is a function of time and space can never know that which is beyond. Only in the absence of the mind, the self will shine forth and reveal itself. I don't know to whom is reveals itself but it does. This is where it becomes impossible to express. No words can describe that experience or non-experience.
