In Nirvana, it is you, my friend, who goes away. You take an eraser and erase yourself. It's like the Road Runner cartoons where in the middle of the cartoon, the hand of the artist appears on the screen and erases the Road Runner.

Meditation is the pathway to enlightenment. Move the ego aside and be still, open, clear, bright and fully conscious.
