Some people say that meditation is just doing nothing. But this is not true. Meditation is quite active. It is probing for the disguised hiddenness of God. It is so much more than looking for the God of your understanding. This is not physics or a search for proofs. The hiddenness keeps God “unknown,” but not absent. A concept which is beyond understanding but then God is not a concept. God is Love. We probe by waiting which to the mind is counter intuitive. Thus, the hiddenness of God. Lot of trust is needed and patience to sit in meditation, not trying to make anything “happen.” At times, the Presence may be experienced, but never understood by the mind. So what is the point? You become your Self and not an imitation of what your mind tells you to be.

I never got into any meditation discipline but as I have aged I have gotten into some solitary habits which are very much like meditative states.
ReplyDeleteNot trying to make anything happen is part of what I have been doing.
