“Meditation means: remain as relaxed as you are in deep sleep and yet alert. Keep awareness there; let thoughts disappear but awareness has to be retained. And this is not difficult: it is just that we have not tried it, that's all. It is like swimming: if you have not tried it, it looks very difficult; it looks very dangerous too. And you cannot believe how people can swim because you simply drown! But once you have tried a little bit it comes easily; it is very natural.” PeopleIfsBelieveLooksMeanLittlesBitsDifficultNaturalSleepMeditationAwarenessDangerousLittle BitDisappearSwimSwimmingRelaxedDeep Sleep Author:Rajneesh
“The Buddha described his teaching as "going against the stream." The unflinching light of mindful awareness reveals the extent to which we are tossed along in the stream of past conditioning and habit. The moment we decide to stop and look at what is going on (like a swimmer suddenly changing course to swim upstream instead of downstream), we find ourselves battered by powerful currents we had never even suspected - precisely because until that moment we were largely living at their command.” LooksMomentsLightPastCoursesPowerfulMeditationTeachingAwarenessHabitCurrentsCommandBuddhistStreamsThat MomentSwimConditioningSwimmerBatteredChanging Course Author:Stephen Batchelor
