No.

The problem is Girish that we have been practicing meditations in which we focus the mind's attention on an object.

Okay?

You have been focusing on a sound.

You have been focusing on the breath of regulating something.

So when you are again and again focusing the mind,

You are forgetting the truth.

That is what Advaita is pointing out to that there is a noir and this is the real awareness.

This is just the mind's attention.

So lots of people,

In fact 99% of the people on the spiritual path confuse awareness with mind's attention.

They feel that I have to concentrate on the awareness during the daytime with my children,

With my family,

With work.

You don't have to concentrate or focus on anything.

The noir is there.

The noir knows that the family is nice right now and not nice right now.

The noir knows the boss is behaving well with me or not behaving well with me.

The noir knows.

Advaita is taking your attention from that little mind's attention to the noir of the mind's attention.

Like you are focusing to pay attention to what Ekta is saying.

Are you saying this?

Though your mind is preparing the next question already,

You are still focusing very hard to pay attention to Ekta.

But notice there is a noir.

There is a noir behind me.

So that noir is always there.

Yeah,

I feel like peace,

Calmness,

Good.

We can be the way of our consciousness.
