Dissolve...

"Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness."

Discover harmony

"Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy."

Find the path

"The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock."

Meditation

"The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder, to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous - because it thinks it knows."

Let go...

"All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.."

Awareness...

"Awareness is the greatest alchemy there is. Just go on becoming more and more aware, and you will find great fulfillment."

Meditation

Meditation is just sitting silently deep within yourself, looking at whatsoever is happening inside and outside both. Outside there is traffic noise, inside there is also traffic noise -- the traffic in the head. So many thoughts -- trucks and buses of thoughts and trains and airplanes of thoughts, rushing in every direction. But you are simply sitting aloof, unconcerned, watching everything with no evaluation.

So meditation is not really mind-effort. Real meditation is not effort at all. Real meditation is just allowing the mind to have its own way, and not interfering in any way whatsoever -- just remaining watchful, witnessing. It silences, by and by, it becomes still. One day it is gone. You are left alone.

Meditation has only one meaning, and that is going beyond the mind and becoming a witness. In your witnessing is the miracle -- the whole mystery of life.

Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you.
