No.

Meditation is the absence of thoughts. Meditation is the state of mind you are in when you don’t think, and it happens more often than what you might imagine.

For example when you listen to live music and you focus only on that, you don’t think. When you contemplate a sunset, a flower, an animal, another person, a situation, or whatever.

When you don’t think, you feel a great connexion with reality, because thinking is an activity that is disconnecting reality, just like watching a movie connects with the movie therefore it disconnects you from reality, thinking connects your attention with unreal realms, which is good if you do it few, and it defines humanity, but it’ bad if you do it too much.

Meditation is a cure to overthinking, it helps your attention to “find the way” to reality again.

Not thinking is what meditation is like. So trying the “know” meditation is like trying to hear silence: it simply can't be done.

Nothing will do it for you: no technique, no trick, no help. You have to understand what you really are, and then let go of the control you try to have over what's going on. “You” only can do it, but what “you” are we talking about?

And so, what are you waiting for? For achieving **nothing**…
