Desire and control are the opponents of a person who wants to grow spiritually

[Navaratna]

Sahaja meditation which leads to Sahaj Samadhi is how I see my connection.
If I turn my attention on an object like a candle flame, a ray of color refracted through a glass pyramid prism, or on a natural body of water it's all the same. Give up control of where my mind goes.

There's a difference between thinking this way in meditation...and thinking this way in a permanent vegetative state.
