The practice of meditation is beneficial, not harmful; but there are persons who are not yet ready for it and who should postpone it until they are. These include: those whose moral values are low; those who suffer from psychoses, mental disturbances, or emotional hysteria; who take drugs, who possess inordinate ambitions, seek occult powers, or practise sorcery and black magic. Such persons need preparatory or purificatory disciplines or treatments, psychological or physical.
