The value of regular meditation is that it takes you away from the humdrum of daily routine and reminds you that you are not what you believe yourself to be. 

 

  Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

 Wenn einer, der vermeintlich nichts mehr tun kann,

um Hilfe bittet, erlöst er sich selbst aus seiner Ohnmacht.

Just Be . . .

It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood. ~

Wie wär's denn damit  . . .

sich mit allen seinen – an- und unangenehmen – Gefühlen und Bedürfnissen verbinden zu können. Ohne sich von den schönen Gefühlen abhängig zu machen oder von den negativen zerstören zu lassen. Ohne das Kranke ist das Gesunde nicht zu erkennen, ohne das Dunkle nicht das Helle, ohne den Schmerz nicht das Glück. Nach der cusanischen Philosophie (Nikolaus von Clues alias Cusanus, 1401-1464) fallen die Gegensätze auf einer höheren Ebene zusammen.
