Meditation: Formal Or Informal?

‘Formal’ is having a regular time and place to meditate, to be purely aware.
‘Informal’ is the naturally relaxed being of pure awareness itself.

As these develop, they become one and the same, anytime, anywhere.

‘Form’ is the visible outer display as a reminder to be aware.
‘Essence’ is inner being of pure awareness.

The point of a tool is its sharp edge, and not how good it looks.
Does it do the job, or does it look as if can do the job?

If it isn’t sharp, we sharpen it, but we don’t keep sharpening it;
we get on with the work in hand, until it – or we – needs sharpening again. 🙂
