TWO-MINUTE MEDITATION



I found an interesting article about learning to develop the discipline of meditation. Meditation is a great tool to help you feel centered and grounded in a hectic life. Here's a great way to start.

Hmmm.. I tried to sit on a table at a conference room at the office one time but I fell off the table.. can you include a tip on how to stay on top of the table.. like that guy in the picture?

I think for most of us guys, the best and most comfortable place to meditate is.. sitting on the toilet...

I never could meditate as much as I try. I can't be hypnotized either. I wish I could, but I guess I just do not relax enough. I am always thinking about something else.

We can only be sure the ego is affirmed when we're thinking, talking, reading, seeing a movie or using the mind in the interests of the ego. The great renunciation that arises in meditation is to drop all thoughts. When there's nobody thinking there's no ego confirmation.

A strong mind does not suffer from boredom, frustration, depression or unhappiness--it has learned to drop what it doesn't want. Meditation practice has given it the necessary muscles.

Thinking is suffering, no matter what it is that we think. There's movement in it and because of that there is friction. Everything that moves creates friction.

Above passages from the the late Baghwan Rajneesh.

I have read and re-read these passages hundreds of times over, and each and every time, my huge ego spits in my face!
