The Difference...

 

The difference between meditation and self-remembering 

is how many attentions you are maintaining. 

If you are in meditation and having 3 attentions, 

you are also self-remembering. 

For example, if you are focused on the tip of your nose, 

your third eye or a picture of a saint 

and also saying your mantra or prayer 

and thinking/feeling about the meaning of it, 

all at the same time, 

you are meditating and self-remembering. 

But if you are saying your mantra 

and your focus and mind are wandering, 

you are meditation but are far from self-remembering.  

So as Mervyn described, 

there are novices in prayer/meditation 

and more advanced practitioners.
