No Need Comfort

 Do you meditate to feel comfortable, trying to get to that familiar feeling, that place in meditation in which you feel a sense of peace?  It is a false sense of arrival.  It is complacency.  You do not yet feel a need for God.  You say, “I don’t believe in God.”  Good, because you will have to let go of all those images and thoughts you were given that you now don’t believe in.  We only disbelieve in images of the mind.  No one can disbelieve in nothing or no thing.  So let go of the something you don’t believe in.  While you are at it, let go of your method that gives you peace.  Go into the dreadful depth of surrender to all thoughts and images.  Yes, it starves the mind and imagination.  Then you may be touched by the “Unbelievable.”  And you will hunger with a need you never knew you had.
