In Zen meditation we think nonthinking—that is, we think nothing. What this means is that our whole psychological mind ceases to function, and as a result, our whole being becomes united with the essence of mind. You call this essence the God within you, Absoluteness, Ultimate Reason—it doesn't matter. No matter what you call it, to unite with this essence is the very reason we meditate together.
