THE MYTH OF MEDITATION
AND CONCENTRATION
MEDITATION IS NOT ABOUT CONCENTRATING ON THE NATURAL SENSE OF BEING. MEDITATION IS NOT ABOUT BRINGING THE MIND BACK FROM THE WORLD TO SOME "I AM" IDEA. TO MEDITATE IS TO CONTINUOUSLY FOR THAT FOR WHICH THE EYE ANYWAY ARE LOOKING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RETREAT FROM THE WORLD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHRINK AWAY FROM THE WORLD. YOU JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN THE EYES ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING, THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO LOOK AT SOMETHING BEYOND THAT SOMETHING - AND THAT IS WHY NO THING EVER SUFFICES.
IF YOU CAN KNOW THE REALITY OF WHAT YOU ARE SEEING WITH YOUR EYES, HEARING WITH YOUR EARS, THINKING OF WITH YOUR MIND, THAT IS MEDITATION.
TO MEDITATE IS TO BE CONTINUOUSLY IN LOVE WITH THE TRUTH.
BUT THE MIND IS A FOOL BECAUSE DESIRE IS BLIND. DESIRE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT REALLY DESIRES, SO IT MOVES IN BLIND DIRECTIONS. AND THEREFORE, ALL CONCENTRATION IS FALSE. YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ONLY UPON THAT WHICH YOU THINK WILL FULFILL YOU - AND THAT WHICH YOU THINK WILL FULLFILL YOU NEVER REALLY FULFILLS YOU.

YOU WILL NEVER DIRECTLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CONCENTRATING ON THE SUPREME SELF. IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU BECOME A LITTLE LIGHT, A LITTLE INDIFFERENT, A LITTLE CASUAL ABOUT THE OBJECTS THAT YOU VALUE SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN INDIRECTLY REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GETTING THE FRUITS OF CONCENTRATING ON THE TRUE SELF.
WHAT PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING PEACEFUL ? THE IDEA THAT YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO GET PEACE.
PEACE IS NOT THE END OF MEDITATION, PEACE IS THE BEGINNING OF MEDITATION.
MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU WANT THE HIGHEST ALONE. MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU ARE FED UP OF LOOKING AT THE SMALL.
WATCHING THE BREATH IS A CONVENIENT WAY TO AVOID WATCHING THAT WHICH REALLY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED.
IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE SO IGNORANT WHAT IS GOING ON. WHAT WE LACK, USUALLY, IS THE HONESTY TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
MAKE IT A GREAT EGO. HOW ELSE DO YOU KILL THE EGO? BY MAKING IT GREAT.
