Wonderful post ji, what meditation in my personal expierience does is kill all the wordly attachments and I dont see Akaal as a worldy attachment. What meditation does for me is make me even feel closer to Akaal.
But I feel that not only by meditating, I also feel it when I do Sewa or read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or think about the transcendence of the lord. It's a moment where I do fall in love with god.
Meditation learns me to be focussed all the time, so my mind doesn't wander.
Sewa helps me to get self discipline.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji shows me a path I've to follow, it gives me gyaan and it motivates me on my journey.
Thinking about the Greatness of the lord, makes me feel connected and in love with the lord.
If one can't focuss on something without his mind wandering then thats not good.
What Meditation does for me is free me from wordly attachments it bring me in a state where I feel very Aware of myself. It's a state where I'm free from all attachments and for me its the best state to feel connected to the lord, since my mind doesn't wander in that state.
Sewa helps me to build self displine, it helps me to control my greed, attachments, anger and mostly ego. It also helps me to feel connected with the lord. To control my lust I kinda fool myself by trying to see all woman as my sisters and mothers. However that doesn't work always for me, controlling lust is very hard I don't have a good method for that right now.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, is for me a place to get gyaan, it's so great that sometimes a few lines can make me think for hours, When I read about the love of Guru's and Bhagats towards the lord that is for me very very very motivating it helps me to not stray from my path.
