Notes on Meditation

Notes on Meditation

It is not the blissful moments

of warm floating

nor the relaxed being

of near-paralysis

that should be the meditator's target or goal

It is only when things get difficult 

that true improvement of the mind happens

only once you gain control over your thoughts

and learn to rest in nothingness

will your mind grow stronger

All those random thoughts entering your mind are like little children

you should be friendly and compassionate with them

but never let them take full control

So discipline your thoughts,

simply accept their presence

and you may find your inner essence
