By practicing meditation on the false self within the false experience without getting rid of the ignorance, the ignorance will remain deep rooted.

What is the use of doing meditation on the base of waking entity, which is false self within the false experience? Meditation is not the means to Self–Knowledge or  Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana . Meditation is not the goal itself because it practiced on the base false self (waking entity or ego) within the false experience (waking).

Meditation is good and valuable tool in practical life within the practical world to overcome the stress of the practical life.   It is an important and useful tool to quiet the physical –mind or ego and emotions. Once the turbulent tendencies of the physical mind or ego and emotions are brought into harmony, clarity and renewed strength are available to meet and overcome each life challenge as it presents itself in practical life. Thus meditation and yoga are useful as preparatory stages in pursuit of truth.  

Meditation will not eliminate our life challenges but can enable us to harmonize our physical –mind or ego and emotions and to focus that energy like a powerful beam of light on the challenges that lie ahead in practical life with the practical world.  But seeker has to realize the fact that, the practical life within the practical world is nothing to do with the formless soul, the innermost self, which is beyond form, time and space.  

Wisdom dawns only when ignorance vanishes. Ignorance vanishes only when the waking entity (ego) becomes aware of the fact that, it itself is not the self. By practicing meditation on the false self within the false experience without getting rid of the ignorance,  the ignorance will remain deep rooted.  Thus all physical based path and practices are not the means to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  Thus trying to acquire Self-Knowledge through meditation and other yogic practices is like try to catch fish in desert sand.
