Meditation

"Meditate in eternity. Don't stay in the mind." Lalleshvari

The Mantra given by the Guru is not a word or a thought. It is a stream of Grace made practical in the form of a sound.

The sound is heard, not by the physical ear, but by the receptacle of yearning in the core of the heart.

In deep meditation, it is not one's responsibility to do, but not to do. Doing is the responsibility of the Guru's breath.

All You "do" is simply give up clinging to thoughts. No need to suppress them or control the mind: just give up grasping.

The stream will carry you to the ocean, an ocean not above you, but within you, the ocean of your very Self.

Who can fathom the mystery of the Guru's grace? The one who, for a little while, does nothing, knows nothing, is nothing. Every-thing blossoms from this no-thing.

Who can fathom the mystery of the Guru's grace? The one who, for a little while, becomes like a child at the breast of the Mother.

And who is the Mother? The womb of darkest silence. She gives birth to the flame that passes from the Teacher to the yearning heart.

This takes place in the abyss of the Ordinary. The Ordinary is the door ever open to the Infinite.
