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.
