However, I believe their be a definite distinction between Meditation and Contemplation. In brief to quote:- Meditation is a detachment from the things of the world in order to attend to the things of God. Contemplation is a detachment from the things of God in order to attend to God Himself. Meditation is for everybody — Contemplation is for the few.
