23 September 2005 - Meditation part 1
 Meditation is the way to achieve letting go. In meditation one lets go of the complex world outside in order to reach the serene world inside. This is known as the path to the pure and powerful mind, released from the worl, is very wonderful and blissful. The goal of this meditation is the beautiful silence, stillness and clarity of mind. During meditation, we should not develop a mind which accumulates and holds on things, but instead we develop a mind which is willing to let go of things, to let go of burdens. Outside of meditation we have to carry the burden of our many duties, like so many heavy suitcases, but within the period of meditation so much baggage is unnecessary. So in meditation, see how much baggage you can unload. Then you have the right attitude for letting go of these things, abandoning them freely without looking back. This effort, this attitude, this movement of mind that inclines to giving up, is what will lead you into deep meditation. |
