\I?rar is medintionl

1r r:l:r rhing is to know what

rj::arttrn is.

E.rnrhrng elsefollows.

I cannot savto you that you should do

nJrration, I can only explain to you

rhat it is. If you understandme, you

rrll be in meditation;thereisno should

rr rr. If vou don't understandme, you

r-rll not be in meditation.

Whatis medimdon?

a drat silence rmth is knoun, and never otheru'ise.

\lcdiration is a stateof no-mind.

And 1'ou cannot find meditation through the

:und, becausemind will perpetuate itself. You can find

rredimtion only by putting the mind aside, by being

cml, indifferent, unidentified with the mind; by seeing

the mind pass, but not getting identified with it, not

thinking that I am it.

Meditation is the awareness that I am not the

mind. When the awarenessgoesdeeperand deeper in

you, slowly slowly, a Gw moments arrive - moments

of silence, moments of pure space,moments of

transparency,moments when nothing stirs in you and

everything is still. In those still moments you will know

who you are, and you will know the mystery of this

existence.

fVIEDITATION is a state of no-mind.

Meditation is a state of pure consciousness with no

conrenr. Gdinarily, your consciousness

is too full of

rubbish,jusr like a mirror covered with dust. The mind

is a constanrtrattic: rhoughts are moving, desiresare

movlng, memories aremoving, ambitions aremoving _

it is a consrant rrafficl Day in, day out. Even when vou

are asleep rhe mind is firnctioning, it is dreaming.it is

still rhinking; it is still in worries and anxieties. It is

preparing for the next day; an underground preparation

is going on.

This is the state of no meditation. Just the

opposite is meditation. l7hen there is no traffic and

thinking has ceased,no thoughts move, no desirestirs.

. you are utterly silent -

that silence is meditation. And
