Nothing at all. Meditation has no goal. There is nothing to gain. If that is so, someone once asked the Buddha, why meditate? His answer: "Let me tell you what I lost through meditation: sickness, anger, depression, insecurity, the burden of old age, the fear of death. That is the good of meditation, which leads to nirvana" [unbinding].

Please do not try to "go deep" in meditation. There is no "correct" state of mind. Meditation is the process of being aware of "what is" in the present moment, without judging, trying to change, or fix it. If thoughts happen, great! Allow them. The whole knack is to allow a heartful presence to whatever is happening in your body-mind. Be present to what is, with no judgment, and no trying to change or fix or attain to anything.

It depends upon the meaning of 'mental development.' Usually, 'mental development' refers to increasing understanding, to learning something new. Unlike, say, a teacher or a book, it is best not to think that meditation will teach you anything new. Otherwise, you will be trying to gain or increase your understanding, and that will prevent successful meditation.It's better to think of successful meditation as a letting go. Without meditation, we are almost incessantly thinking or conceptualizing. Often we are gratuitously evaluating things: "That's nice" or "Oh, I don't like that." What happens, especially to literate people, is that we are so wrapped up in our thoughts that we lose contact with reality, we live our lives in our heads.Meditation is the art of letting go of thinking. When meditation is successful, instead of paying attention to our thoughts about reality, we are directly experiencing reality. To meditate well is not to think any thoughts; it's to let go of thinking. That doesn't mean that there's no awareness. Of course, there is awareness, but it's not awareness mediated by our concepts.Therefore, if you are trying to meditate and you are just sitting there thinking, you are not actually meditating at all. If you are trying to learn something or achieve a goal, your meditation will never be successful. The purpose of meditation is not to achieve anything; instead, the purpose of meditation is to let go of thinking.Successful meditation is mental stillness. How do you develop your concentration to that point? Well, it is through persistent practice of the right kind. Notice when your mind has wandered out of control and bring it back into control. That's the essence of meditation. It really is that simple. Notice when you get lost in your thoughts and bring your attention back to the present reality.Once you are able to let go of thinking even for a single moment, you will experience such an insight into reality that it has been called a mental cataclysm.That is mental development beyond all mental development!
