What is the ultimate goal of meditation as described by Sai Baba, and what happens when it is achieved?

As detailed in Chapter 19, the ultimate goal of meditation is to achieve oneness with Brahman, the state of pure consciousness. Sai Baba explains that through consistent meditation, the mind becomes one-pointed. This leads to a transformative state where the distinction between the 'meditator, the meditation, and the object of meditation' completely disappears. When this triad dissolves, the practitioner transcends individual awareness and attains the state of pure consciousness. This is the culmination of the meditative path, where the individual soul realizes its unity with the ultimate reality.
