 How? What method or means of meditation opens me to this experience? 

Vasistha answers: "His inner vision was directed neither inward or outward, neither above nor below, neither in substantially nor void. He was established in pure consciousness within himself. The unconditional mind is firm, and that in itself is meditation, freedom and peace eternal.  He experienced pure bliss within himself. "

And that's the ticket! Meditation today is usually taught as sustained focus upon something physical or mental. Advaitan meditation focuses on the place prior to cognition, on "I am" alone. Once the fuse is lit the rest just happens automatically like ripening fruit or budding flowers. There is no "attainment" in this. It is simply opening up to what is there all along: the Self, pure and untainted freedom, bliss and peace eternal. 

Now will someone please assassinate Trump and Putin so I can establish there? Whoops. It ain't easy.
