MEDITATION
From the published writings of Swamiji (in the year 1981)



Meditation is seeing what 'is'. To see 'is' involves seeing 'is-not'. Seeing 'is' and 'is-not' is the vision of the whole. Seeing is when the mind is desire-free. Desire is always for the other. The other is not-seeing. And not-seeing is agitation. not-seeing is what one projects. What one projects is different from what 'is'.

Projection is an act of the desiring mind, and non-projection is an act of non-desire. A non-projecting mind is ever in meditation. It alone sees. Others see not.

There seem to be two things--'is' and 'is not'. 'Is not' is never away from and adds nothing to 'is'. Hence there is only 'is'.

Meditation is seeing 'is'.
