Mediteren ~ Hoe?

Mediteren ~ Hoe? Enkele Hints

"Just meditate .....

   Enjoy it intrinsically.
   There is no need to look for any result.
   Let it happen.

   Let the future come of its own accord.
   Don't make a destination out of meditation ~
just simple direction will do.

   Enjoy it.
   Celebrate it.
   Be festive about it."

"But remember, while doing meditation
   never bother about the result.

   It will come in its own time.
   Trust!

   Enjoy meditation for its own sake, don't be
   greedy about it, don't project any ambition.

   If one can do meditation not as a means,
   but as an end unto itself, then the miracle
   can happen immediately, it can change
   your total being."

"We are so end-oriented that we turn every-
   thing into a means.

   This must be remembered: meditation is
   the ultimate play, it is not a means to
   something, it is not a means to
   enlightenment.

   Enlightenment happens in it, but it is not a
   means to it.

   It is not a means to ultimate freedom.
   Ultimate freedom happens in it, but it is not
   a means to it. You cannot use it as a cause
   to effect something.

   This has been one of the most puzzling
   things ~ all through the centuries, those
   who have known go on insisting on
   meditation for meditation's sake.

   Don't desire anything out of it, enjoy it in
   itself, don't move out of it ~ and the
   consequence will be enlightenment.

   Remember, consequence ~ not effect.

   Meditation is not a cause, but if you are
   deep in meditation, enlightenment
   happens. Really, being deep in the play is
   enlightenment."
