The Purpose of Meditation is to Transcend the Mind Transcending the Mind means ‘Going beyond the Mind’
A Transcended Mind goes beyond Thinking and Not Thinking The question of Thinking and Not Thinking does not arise at the Transcended state of Mind as the Mind is superceeded by ConsciousnessThe Mind attains almost Zero Potential at the Meditation State as it has lost all its powers. The Mind becomes Null
Understand the fact that ‘Thinking’ and ‘Not Thinking’ both are the attributes of an Active Mind ‘Not Thinking’ is different from ‘Non Thinking’‘Not thinking’ is also part of Thinking Only. Hence the Mind must be Transcended.Meditation enables this ‘Non Thinking’ State of Transcendence
