Thoughts, briefly

One meditates most effectively by not meditating. Or not quite not meditating. One must meditate a little to meditate, just enough to set the intention, the rest happens all by itself. Having said that, many people need to meditate prodigiously in order to realise the futility of meditating, only then are they ready to see that one meditates most effectively by not meditating. There is nothing sadder than someone enslaved by a doctrinaire spiritual practice into a lifetime of not meditating by meditating. Endless sitting is a recipe for bad knees. Life is about movement. The more graceful the better.
