Meditation and Chanting
Teaching : Which of the two spiritual practices is superior – meditation or chanting ?
Explanation : Chanting is superior to meditation because of the following reason.
Egoism (Ahambhav) : During meditation, egoism is subtly present due to thoughts such as ‘I sit for meditation’, ‘I meditate’, ‘I come back into the wakeful state from the state of meditation (Samadhi)’; whereas while chanting one has the feeling that the Guru is getting the chanting done. Here, instead of giving rise to egoism, the spiritual practice of chanting helps destroy ego.
