Meditation is a way of settling in oneself, at the innermost
core of your
being. Once you have found the center of your existence, you will have
found both your roots and your
wings.
The roots are in existence, making you a more integrated human being,
an individual. And the wings are
in the fragrance that is released by
being in contact with existence. The fragrance consists of freedom,
love, compassion,
authenticity, sincerity, a sense of humor, and a
tremendous feeling of blissfulness.
The roots make you an individual,
and the wings give you the freedom
to love, to be creative, to share unconditionally the joy that you have
found.
The roots and wings come together. They are two sides of one
experience, and that experience is finding the center of
your being.
We are continuously moving on the circumference, always somewhere
else far away from our own being,
always directed towards others.
When all this is dropped, when all objects are dropped, when you close
your eyes to
all that is not you - even your mind, your heartbeats are
left far behind - only a silence remains.
In this silence
you will settle slowly into the center of your being, and
then the roots will grow on their own accord, and the wings
too. You
need not worry about them. You cannot do anything about them. They
come on their own.
You simply
fulfill one condition: that is, to be at home - and the whole
existence becomes a bliss to you, a benediction.
The inner revolution brings freedom and the only way to
make oneself
go through the inner revolution is meditation. Meditation simply means
learning to forget all that you
have learned. It is a process of
deconditioning, a process of dehypnosis.
The society has burdened everybody with
thousands of thoughts.
Meditation simply helps you to come out of that world of thoughts, into
a state of silence.
It is a process of cleaning your slate completely, it is
emptying all that has been forced and stuffed inside you.
Once
you are empty, spacious, silent, clean, the revolution has
happened, the sun has risen; then you live in its light! And
to live in the
light of your inner sun is to live rightly. In fact that is the only way to
live. Others are only dying,
just dying slowly, moving in a queue goes on
becoming shorter and shorter every moment, and any moment you may
be
the first in the queue. In fact everybody is trying to be first in the
queue; a great desire to be the first everywhere.
The ordinary life is only called life - it is not. It is only so-called life. It is
a process of gradual death
or to be more accurate, a process of gradual
suicide.
The moment you become silent and aware and clear and your
inner sky
is full of delight, you know the first taste of true life. One can call it
god, one can call it enlightenment,
one can call it liberation; the
experience of truth, love, freedom, bliss - different names but the
phenomenon is
the same.
