Two Aspects To Meditation

There are two aspects to meditation, form and essence.

Form is the method and ritual that becomes a way of life.
Essence is the understanding and realisation of life itself.

Form is something we relate to, which is a duality.
Essence is non-duality beyond relating, which is spontaneous presence.

In spontaneity, there is no time for separation, like a mirror and its reflection. Separation comes a moment later when we speculate and relate to memory, and awareness becomes a duality.

Is compassion selective or unconditional?
