To Meditate successfully,<br />
the idea that you are doing meditation,<br />
can be an obstacle.<br />

<br />
Inside this new love, die.</span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Your way begins on the other side.<br />
Become the sky.<br />
Take an axe to the prison wall.<br />
Escape.<br />
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.<br />
Do it now.<br />
You're covered with thick cloud.<br />
Slide out the side. Die,<br />
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign<br />
that you've died.<br />
Your old life was a frantic running<br />
from silence.<br />
<br />
The speechless full moon</span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
comes out now.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Meditation is the movement of love.</i> It isn't the love of the one or of the many. It is like water that anyone can drink out of any jar, whether golden or earthenware: it is inexhaustible. </span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">And a peculiar thing takes place which no drug or self-hypnosis can bring about: it is as though the mind enters into itself, beginning at the surface and penetrating ever more deeply, until depth and height have lost their meaning and every form of measurement ceases. </span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">In this state there is complete peace not contentment which has come about through gratification but a peace that has order, beauty and intensity. It can all be destroyed, as you can destroy a flower, and yet because of its very vulnerability it is indestructible. </span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>This meditation cannot be learned from another. You must begin without knowing anything about it, and move from innocence to innocence. </i>The soil in which the meditative mind can begin is the soil of everyday life, the strife, the pain, and the fleeting joy. It must begin there, and bring order, and from there move endlessly.</span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">But if you are concerned only with making order, then that very order will bring about its own limitation, and the mind will be its prisoner. In all this movement you must somehow begin from the other end, from the other shore, and not always be concerned with this shore or how to cross the river. You must take a plunge into the water, not knowing how to swim. <i>And the beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is.</i></span>Webehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03967861246334274233noreply@blogger.com0
