11. Meditation may be practised where, (when, etc.), concentration arises; for in that (in meditation or in knowledge), no difference is caused by particular spots, etc.

Only in that place, at that time, in that condition, etc., he should be (and practise meditation) where concentration is possible. This is said in the Varahapurana: “He should resort to that place only, seize that hour only, place himself in that condition only, seek those comforts only, which are favourable to securing serenity of mind. For by time, place, etc., there is no peculiarity said to be wrought in meditation, but all enquiry about time, place, etc., is meant for making the mind serene”.

12. Meditation is to be practised until release is obtained; (for) even there (in heaven meditation is practised; for Shruti (says that).

Until release is obtained, meditation, etc., should be practised. For the Shruti says, “O Venerable one, of these wise men, he who till he departs from this body constantly meditates on the Supreme declared by the sacred syllable, — what world does he attain to?” (Pr. v. 1). The Sauparna Shruti says: “Till release let him always meditate on Him (the Lord); for even the released meditate on Him.” The following is in the Brahmandapurana: “One should study scripture till ignorance is removed, should think till the doubt as to reasonableness is removed; meditation should continue till the perception of Brahman rises; and the wisdom that has once dawned is never annulled. Even in the case of a person who has obtained wisdom, meditation is to be practised when his perception is interrupted. Likewise eternal and sincere devotion to the highest Brahman is necessary. This is followed as a rule of duty till entering into heaven; and it is practised thereafter by the released of their own accord.”
