Understand the activity of the self

Good morning everyone,

Here is today's quote:

When there is the activity of the self, meditation is not possible. This is very important to understand, not verbally but actually. Meditation is a process of emptying the mind of all the activity of the self, of all the activity of the “me”. If you do not understand the activity of the self, then your meditation only leads to illusion, your meditation then only leads to self-deception, your meditation then will only lead to further distortion. So to understand what meditation is, you must understand the activity of the self. The self has had a thousand worldly, sensuous, or intellectual experiences, but it is bored with them because they have no meaning. The desire to have wider, more expansive, transcendental experiences is part of the “me”.

This Light in Oneself, p 72

Here is my relection:

Unlike most mediattion practices, k is saying that the way to the outside is through the inside. there is no avoidance and so no indirect and covert preserving of the self. Any recognition that the "me" is not, is from the me. We can never know enlightenment.
