Total Thoughts (October 18, 2009) - Meditation

Total Thoughts:
 
Meditation (On Wings and Wheels pages 38 - 40)
  • We have to make reasons to follow through with meditation and not make excuses to not follow through - skipping meditation is easy, just as being mediocre is easy
  • Sincerity is a key factor to being successful with meditation - if we truly appreciated the benefit of meditation we would be sincere
  • Unfortunately our gauge of what is beneficial and what is not has become utterly gross and immediate - the benefits of meditation are subtle and lasting in addition to being gross and immediate so why do we invest so little into meditation
  • To be able to meditate we have to be comfortable with being alone - solitude is a catalyst to contemplation
  • Meditation is a means to Enlightenment - this means is the practice of believing we are Infinite rather than finite
' The rich have a superfluous store of things which they do not need and which are, therefore, neglected and wasted; while millions starve and are frozen to death for want of them.  If each retained possession only of what he needed, none would be in want and all would live in contentment. ' --- Mahatma Gandhi
