Meditation Only Spoils It
Meditation is a method to bring the mind to stillness for the clarity of awareness to be acknowledged though mindfulness.
It is in relating to this experience, however, that we end up in a constant duality – “Is this it, or not?” It doesn’t matter whether the mind thinks, “Is this it, or not?”, ever-present, pure awareness has no conclusions, as that would only spoil it; ‘it’ is non-duality – clear seeing.
Meditation is mind-awareness.
Mindfulness is experience-awareness.
Non-meditation is consciousness-awareness.
The boat is meditation.
The oars are mindfulness.
The destination is non-duality.
Once we reach the shore of non-duality,
remaining in the boat with the oars becomes pointless,
and spoils the realisation
that we never left the destination.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
It doesn’t matter whether the mind thinks, “Is this it, or not?” A good laugh to wake up the weekend. All good .. 🙂
