Meditation – 静生
Sit still and disengage normal activities.
Draw energy from the earth, Admit power from the heavens.
Fertilize the seed within;
Let it sprout into a flower of pure light.
And let brightness open the top of your head:
Divine light will come pouring in.
Your mind is empty,
Light seeps into your whole body.
Sitting cross-legged, with hands clasped, As if trying to embrace the brilliant flood, Your skin turns transparent.
How can a bag of skin hold divine magnitude?
Your last vestiges burn away in a torrent of infinity.
Only after indeterminate time do you return.
Flesh, blood, bone.
Were you gone? Or were you never here in the first place?
Where is the torrent?
It is not gone;
You've only closed to it once more.

Inhale the future, exhale the past. Witness the present. Repeat.

Achievements of the body do not matter to the soul. What we define as success is different from what the soul defines as success.

Adore idols, altars, shrines, god(s), but don’t forget to adore the divine Self within. #spirituality #wisdom

Once you remove identification with form and name, all that remains is awareness.

When the mind is still, the world that we think we know disappears and the world as is it truly is reveals itself.

True and total freedom is not the ability to do whatever the self wants or doesn’t want. Total freedom transcends wanting and is the ultimate reality. What freedom holds the most value to you? Live accordingly and experience what is truly real and what is not.

When the mind has left a thought and is restrained from moving towards another thought, it comes to rest in the middle. Then, through that middle state of being, one's true nature blossoms brilliantly.

- Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, verse 62

Buddha was once asked, "What have you gained from meditation?"
He replied, "Nothing”.
However, Buddha continued, "Let me tell you what I lost: anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death."

Enlightenment offers freedom to those that seek it.

Look into the center of change that is manifesting in your own life. There you will find the heartbeat that permeates all existence, including yourself.

We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. – Marcel Proust
