of discursive thinking.
It is pure concentration:
training the mind
to dwell on an interior
focus without wandering,
until it becomes absorbed
in the object of its contemplation.
But absorption does
not mean unconsciousness.
The outside world may
be forgotten, but meditation
is a state of intense
inner wakefulness.’
― Anonymous, The Upanishads

The universeand our heartsare open to your grace.I feel my body and thank you for it.Lord, I am happy with creation.(Graphic: Donna Eskind rettete den fliegenden VögelnPinterest)
Then I feel like a cragworn by an endless wind.Regardless of the mapsthat I drew so carefully well,I arrive at what I have always had.This brings me to utter humility.
never to disownthe poor or bendmy knees beforeinsolent might.Give me thestrength tosurrender mystrength to thywill with love.(Ref: Tagore,Gitanjali,36)
reason fully absorbed.The sense of ‘I’and ‘mine’, ‘you’and ‘yours’is illusionwhich holds swayover all individual souls.(The words of Rama to LakshmanaAranyakanda) .
the creative wisdom of God,the Almighty One,we turn to the natureof the human mind.But the false opinionthat we hold concerningspiritual thingswill not permit usto discern the truth.Yet the force of truthitself will dazzle our eyes.
