Why Meditate?
Proper meditation brings a calm spacious mind, where we’re able to cope with anything that appears; we are never panicked, disturbed or alarmed. We are not subject to emotions.
Meditation isn’t adopting a particular lifestyle, typically an unconventional one. It’s a practical method of attaining mental stability.
We gain stability and genuine stillness – which is admirable – but we have a little further to go. Meditation is a method to come to stillness and a feeling of stability, but “I feel good” and “This is it” is still a duality.
Drop any attachment by dropping the meditation. When nothing else is present, that is pure consciousness. If we’re wanting more than this, we have forgotten purity, and we’re back in conventional consciousness … so we meditate again.
