Someone asked Buddha. "How shall we meditate,"
Buddha replied,
"Whatsoever you , do it with awareness:
this is meditation. Walking, walk attentively, as if walking is everything , eating :
eat with awareness, as
it eating is
everything: rising, rise with awareness: sitting, sit with awareness: all your actions become conscious, your mind does not travel beyond this moment, it remains in the moment. settles in the moment — this is meditation."
everything: rising, rise with awareness: sitting, sit with awareness: all your actions become conscious, your mind does not travel beyond this moment, it remains in the moment. settles in the moment — this is meditation."
Meditation is
not a separate process . Meditation is simply name for Life live
with awareness . Meditation is
not an hour - a day affair where you sit for hour & it is over
till tomorrow . No
, if twenty three hours are
without meditation & only one hour is meditative , then it is certain that twenty three hours defeat the single hour . Non meditation will
win & meditation will
lose . If you living twenty three hours without awareness and only one hour with awareness ,
then you will never attain the state of buddhahood .
How can single hour defeat the twenty three hours ?
If you were not awake in
the shop, in
the marketplace, or
at home, how can you all
of a sudden be awake in
the temple?
Nothing is going to come about suddenly, when it is not part of an internal flowing. This is why Buddha has
said that meditation can
happen only if you are meditative for twenty-four hours a
day.
