Meditate on the Self for the Sake of the Other

A cellphone metaphor: if we have a weak connection to the signal from the tower, all our phone conversations are unclear, broken up by static. Just so, when the mind has a weak connection to its Source, all our relationships are troubled.

But our Source is not above, in a tower or satellite. Our Source is within: the silent radiance of pure awareness, the Self who is deeper than thought, transcending the mind. This is why we set aside some time each day for meditation: not just for our own sake, but to nourish all our relationships.

For the sake of the other we tap into the Self, the bubbling golden emptiness of Sat-Chit-Ananda. With a few minutes of morning and evening meditation, we recharge every atom of our body, and re-establish a strong connection with our true nature.
