Meditation is a very simple
phenomenon. You can remain in
that state for 24 hours a day.
You can do all small and big
things; only one thing is not
allowed and that is, your
centering should not be lost.

When
you are not doing anything at all – bodily, mentally, on no level – when all
activity has ceased and you simply are, just being, that's what
meditation
is. You cannot do it, you cannot practice it; you have only to understand
it.
Whenever you can find time for just
being, drop all doing.
Thinking is also
doing, concentration is also
doing, contemplation is also
doing.

First, learning how just to
be, and then learning little actions: cleaning the floor, taking a shower,
but keeping yourself centered. Then you can do complicated things.
For
example, I am speaking to you, but my meditation is not disturbed. I can go
on speaking, but at my very center there is not even a ripple; it is just
silent, utterly silent.

Doing continues
on its own level, there is no problem: chopping wood, drawing water from the
well. You can do all small and big things; only one thing is not allowed and
that is, your centering should not be lost.
That
awareness, that watchfulness, should remain absolutely unclouded,
undisturbed.
Meditation is a very
simple
phenomenon.

Love is the shallow space in a swimming
pool, for those who cannot meditate. But that is the place to
learn
meditation. |
