He compared it to when he tells someone to picture an orange, it is something easy to picture, without any thought or intentions. It is just simple. the more we practice meditation continuously, we will be able to attain happiness and peace from within. Everyone got to meditate together fro about 30mins, where they felt like time passed by very quickly.
