Just 2 cents,

I have ever thought that meditation is about improvements. We can not deny that any mental condition has a biological background. I don't have at hand the quotes for this but meditation has been proved that improves the electromagnetic workings of the brain and the overall health of it. The workings of the brain are known as mind. Mind is the output of that workings. Any improvement comes from it. The problem here is the outstanding complexity of the brain. Same complexity we reflect through our own behaviour. To ground the mind into its biology and setting it away from the mystical and philosophical entanglements will lead to a better understanding and will free mankind from those same philosophical entanglements and religious delusions. This do not mean that this understanding will lead to a taken pill for happiness but meditation as the way to achieve mindfullness, a core aspect for the practice of the teachings of the Buddha.
