Meditation: Being Stateless

Meditation isn’t going into a ‘state’; it’s coming out of our self, and the obvious mental state that we carry around. In our usual state of likes and dislikes – our routine – we lose freshness, we lose wonder.

Statelessness is a silent “What is this?” At that moment, there are no answers, just the empty clarity of pondering, reflecting on a situation. In everyday life, instead of coming out with our routine smart answers, we recognise that the situation may need deeper investigation to see how it arose.

And that’s what makes life interesting.
And that’s why people turn their backs,
as looking deeper is uncomfortable.
Pity.

Meditation has nothing to do with the form of religion. Meditation is formless, as there are no beliefs formed to hold on to. We will never understand consciousness through religion; it is only understood through private meditation. It is not a public display.

Likewise, we will never get the news from the news. We get the news from looking between the lines, to discover the meaning that is implied rather than explicitly stated.

It all makes life very interesting. 🙂
