When I hear you
say meditation is witnessing;
I feel I understand
but when you talk about no mind
it doesn't sound easy at all
how it can sound easy
because it is your future possibility
meditation you have started
it may be in the beginning stages
but you have a certain experience of it.
that makes you understand me
but if you can understand meditation
don't be worried at all
meditation surely leads to no mind
just as every river
moves towards the ocean without any maps
without any vibes
every river
without exception
finally reaches to the ocean
every meditation
without exception
finally reaches to the state of no mind.
But naturally
when the Ganges is in the Himalayas
wandering into the mountains and in the valleys
has no idea what the ocean is
cannot conceive
the existence of ocean
but it is moving towards the ocean
because the water has the intrinsic capacity
of always finding the lowest place
and the oceans are the lowest place
the rivers are born on the peaks of the Himalayas
and it start moving immediately towards
lower spaces
and finally they
are bound to find the ocean
just the reverse is the process of meditation
it moves upwards
to higher peaks
and the ultimate peak is no mind
no mind is a simple word
but it exactly means
enlightenment
liberation
freedom from all bondage
experience of deathlessness and immortality
those are big words
and I don't want you to be frightened
so I use a simple word : "No-Mind"
you know the mind
you can conceive a state
when this mind will be non-functioning
once this mind is non-functioning
you become part of the
mind of the cosmos
the universal mind.
when you are part of the universal mind your
individual mind functions as a beautiful servant
it has recognized the master
and it brings news
from the universal mind
to those who are still
chained by the individual mind.
When I am is speaking to you
it is in fact the universe using me
My words are not my words.
They belong to the universal truth
That is their power
That is their charisma,
that is their magic.
