Thoughts

Meditation is a vast and vague subject. With the below writeup, considering my intense experience with various techniques of meditation, i attempt to define/draw out the various levels of Meditation a seeker goes through. Hope this becomes a convenient guide for new and old Meditators to experience and understand Meditation in greater depth.

“The ego loves to strengthen itself by complaining—either in thoughts or words—about other people, the situation you find yourself in, something that is happening right now but “shouldn’t be,” and even about yourself.” –Eckhart Tolle

“Whatever you think you are, that’s not it.” ― Adyashanti

“When we believe what we think, when we take our thinking to be reality, we will suffer.” ― Adyashanti

“Let go of all ideas and images in your mind, they come and go and aren’t even generated by you. So why pay so much attention to your imagination when reality is for the realizing right now?” ― Adyashanti

Emptiness comes as a sunset comes of an evening, full of beauty, enchantment, and richness; it comes as naturally as the blossoming of a flower. — Krishnamurti
