It is often that when we are young, we have other goals in life but because of my own childhood experience, I believe that if a child is asked to meditate with the adults, they have experiences quicker than adults. Partly it may be because children are not preoccupied with so many useless thoughts. The story of Druv and Prahlaad confirm that children can successfully meditate. Then why do we hesitate as parents, from involving children in our meditation sessions. Is it the fear of childs initial resistance? Yes, it requires an effort in persuading them but once they do sit down and meditate, it is facinating listening to what they experienced.
I read somewhere that children's brain up to the age of 13 /14 naturally vibrates at Alpha frequency between 8-14 cycles per second, compatible for meditation; as opposed to the adults who generally vibrate at Beta frequency of 14-38HZ.The link here mentions various Brainwaves and their connection to consciousness http://www.hirnwellen-und-bewusstsein.de/brainwaves_1.html
Generally, people don' t seriously think of meeting God until they are near the death bed. This due to our belief that we encounter God and his Court to see a balance of our good and bad deeds only after death. If we hadn't heard of justice in God's court based on deeds / karma, we probably won't even be concerned about other beings and their feelings and concerns.
The fact, according to the bhagats and their bani written in the Guru Granth Sahib ji, is that the spiritual person is not primarily concerned / scared about the consequences after death. The reason for meditation by a spiritual soul is to know the Absolute Truth / the creator / the invisible and formless God, first out of curiosity and later due to bond of love that they have developed. It does reach the stage of obsession I would say, for if for any reason you are distracted in life and can't meditate and reach the stage where they feel that personal bond, they feel the same as a person whose personal relationship is falling apart.
For those who wish to have such personal bond with God while they are living, like it should be, as one
Bhagat Namdev says -
Mooeae hooeae jo mukath dhaehugae mukath n jaanai koeilaa
If You liberate me after I am dead, no one will know that I am liberated.
Guru Arjan Dev ji writes
Raaj n chaaho mukath n chaaho man preeth charan kamalaarae
I do not seek power, and I do not seek liberation. My mind is in love with Your Lotus Feet.
Breham mehaes sidhh mun ei(n)dhraa mohi t(h)aakur hee dharasaarae
Brahma, Shiva, the Siddhas, the silent sages and Indra - I seek only the Blessed Vision of my Lord and Master's Darshan.
