Both Bhagat ji and Confused ji have put their points across very well and really got me thinking. I'm not convinced that you can say that shallow reading and meditation will work for everyone. We are all different-unique human beings. Our minds work in different ways. For some the shallow reading will be an excellent starting point for other its puts them off as it feels useless. For some meditation is a great way to still the mind and focus, yet for others mediation spins the mind into overdrive no matter how hard they try so they just cannot get into it. Also the images conjured up in meditation may not take you in exactly the direction you want to go as the subconscious begins to intrude.

Then comes the next step. If shallow reading is a beginning and meditation is to make one focussed then is it possible to move beyond these when the aim is achieved to the next level-understanding, applying and remembering always. Some people will find this harder than others as it is a big step to move out the comfort zone.

In summary, I think each person is different and needs to find what works for them on their individual spiritual path:sippingcoffee:
