JUST TRY FOR A SINGLE SECOND NOT TO BE….. SIT SILENTLY AND WAIT…..
“ Just sit under a tree. The breeze is blowing and the leaves of the tree are rustling. The wind touches you, it moves around you, it passes. But don’t allow it just to pass you; allow it to move within you and pass through you.
Just close your eyes, and as it is passing through the tree and there is a rustling of leaves, feel that you are also like a tree, open, and the wind is blowing through you – not by your side, but right through you.
Sometimes, you can simply disappear.
Sitting under a tree, not thinking of past and future, just being there, where are you?
Where is the I?
You cannot feel it, it is not there.
The ego has never existed in the present.
Past is no more, future is yet to be; both are not.
Past has disappeared, future has not yet appeared – only the present is.
And in the present there is never found anything like the ego.
There is one of the most ancient meditations still used in some monasteries of Tibet.
The meditation is based on the truth that I am saying to you.
They teach that sometimes you can simply disappear; sitting in the garden, you just start feeling that you are disappearing.
Just see how the world looks when you have gone from the world, when you are no longer here, when you have become absolutely transparent.
Just try for a single second not to be.
In your own home be as if you are not.
It is really a beautiful meditation. You can try it many times in 24 hours – just half a second will do.
For half a second simply stop; you are not and the world continues.
When you become more and more alert to the fact that without you the world continues perfectly well, then you will be able to learn another part of your being which has been neglected for long, for lives.
And that is the receptive mode.
You simply allow, become a door. Things go on happening without you.
SIT SILENTLY AND WAIT…..
Sometimes what happens is that meditation is close by but you are engaged in other things.
That still small voice is within you but you are full of noise, engagements, occupations, responsibilities.
And meditation comes like a whisper, it doesn’t come like a slogan shouting, it comes very silently.
It makes no noise. Not even the footsteps are heard. So if you are engaged, it waits and goes.
So make it a point, at least an hour every day, just to sit silently and wait for it.
Don’t do anything, just sit silently with closed eyes in great waiting, with a waiting heart, with an open heart. Just waiting, so if something happens then you are ready to receive it.
If nothing happens don’t feel frustrated.
Even sitting for one hour and having nothing happen is good, is relaxing.
It calms you down, makes you still, makes you more centered and rooted.
But more and more it will come and slowly slowly there will arise an understanding between you and the meditative state; that you wait at a certain hour in a certain room at a certain time, it will come more and more.
It is not something that comes from the outside, it comes from your innermost core.
But when the inner conscious knows that the outer conscious is waiting for it, there is more possibility of meeting.”
