True Meditation

Do you think you can clear your mind by
sitting constantly in silent meditation ?
This makes your mind narrow, not clear.
Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable,
present in all places and at all times.
That is true meditation.

Who can attain clarity and simplicity by
avoiding the world?
The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn’t
avoid the world.
Why not simply honor your parents,
love your children,
help your brothers and sisters,
be faithful to your friends,
care for your mate with devotion,
complete your work cooperatively and joyfully,
assume responsibility for problems,
practice virtue without first demanding it of others,
understand the highest truths yet retain an
ordinary manner?

That would be true clarity, true simplicity,
true mastery.

Verse 49

Thinking and talking about the Integral way are
not the same as practicing it.
Who ever became a good rider by talking about
horses?
If you wish to embody the Tao, stop chattering and
start practicing.
Relax your body and quiet your senses.
Return your mind to it’s original clarity.
Forget about being separated from others and
from the Divine source.

As you return to the oneness, do not think about it or
be in awe of it. This is just another way of
separating from it.
Simply merge into truth, and allow it to surround
you.

Comments: Saint Paul said you will be known by
your faith. What he and Hua Hu Ching mean by
faith is the deeds you perform. Faith is not
measured by your beliefs, it is measured by
your actions.
