_Professor Carse:_ Thank you. Let me ask you first about the philosophy behind your meditation, and then I'm going to ask you about the method of meditating. But, first, what is the goal one seeks in meditation?

Sri Chinmoy: Each individual seeker has a goal of his own. So, in my case, from my meditation, I try to transcend myself. My heart's inner cry — I want to make it more intense and more perfect. So, this is what I expect from my meditation. And there will be others who expect something else from their own meditation.
