What is Meditation? What are its benefits? How does it make one get rid of "lack of fulfillment"? What is the need for doing it here and now?

Meditation is a physio-psychological technique used to concentrate on God. Proper practice leads to the "samaadhi" state (Don't be confused with the same term used for referring to the burial sites ;)) !

In samaadhi state, meditator's human consciousness becomes one with the Universal Consciousness!

In that state, what a person desires (human will) will be in tune with the Divine Will and will materialize for sure as a result. Hence, Sri vaLLuvar states,

வேண்டிய வேண்டியாங்கு எய்தலால் செய் தவம்
ஈண்டு முயலப் படும்.

"vENDiya vENDiyaangu eithalaal sei thavam
eeNDu muyalap paDum."

Several saints have declared that it is a rare privilege to take a human birth ("aridhu aridhu maaniDaraaip piRaththal aridhu")! Here the Poet reiterates it with the word "eeNDu", prompting to meditate which is an unique capability only human being possesses, in this birth!

(Oh boy!... You told many things, they seem true but some goes over my head!... now, how did you define God in the above context? what is that we have to desire? what if we end up praying for wrong things? how will we prevent negative effect and ensure we pray for proper things?
...
Brother, please wait for some more time, Sri Valluvar has answers for these as well and will send you soon!)
