What is meditation?

Meditation is learning to accept the Earth

There would be a great renewal in society if people were able to find themselves in, for instance, the silence, or call it meditation if you will.

Meditation is learning to accept the Earth. This is real meditation. Meditation is not trying to reach heaven. No, you should try to accept the Earth. And there lies the difficulty. A person always has a problem about the one who is with him: “how can I accept this?” 

There are so many differences in the other person that it’s always annoying. The other person sees things differently, speaks differently, the other is different, eats differently, sleeps differently. He does things in his own way and this can sometimes evoke strong feelings of vexation in your heart.  If you learn to see this, then you can let it go, and this will mean that you can find peace. You can only do this when you have found your own rhythm.

If you learn to see this, then you can let it go, and this will mean that you can find peace.

You can only do this when you have found your own rhythm.

Come into your own rhythm

When you meditate and enter into the silence, without any thoughts about the other, without any thoughts about the whole of this big Earth, then you will come into your own rhythm and you can try to accept the Earth, to accept the other.

Letting the others be themselves

You can try to live in such a way that, when you come out of your meditation, you feel and experience a peace: ‘I will let the other be himself, I’m not going to do anything more about it.’

Even if you were to experience this only for a moment, feeling the stillness of your own heart and being able to let the other person go, then just this one moment would already be significant for the other as well as for yourself. And this can grow; these moments can increase. The peace can start to take a place in your meditation; the peace can grow when you come out of your meditation. 

Even if you were to feel the stillness of your own heart and be able to let the other person go only for a moment, then just this one moment would already be significant for the other as well as for yourself.

Meditation is looking at your own life

Try to have a neutral view of the world, without judging and saying: “It should all be different.” No, it should be different for myself. If I can change myself and recreate myself as goodness, then I would certainly have reasons to say: “It should all be different”, but then be sure to add: “in my life.”

You shouldn’t look at the lives of others in the same way as you look at your own life. For this reason meditation is looking at your own life and, from your own life, looking a little at the lives of others, but in function of your own life.

Try to penetrate into your own life and see your life, thereby clearing a space in your heart.

‘What is the meaning of my life?
Where is it heading?
What is my goal?
What do I want to do with my life?
What good has been done in my life?
What have I been doing all these years and what have I collected in my life that is significant and beautiful?’

These are useful questions to ask yourself, but you needn’t do anything with it.

These are useful questions to ask yourself, but you needn’t do anything with it. Just let it be in your own heart. Place it in your own heart and lock it away there so that it can’t come out, and at one time you will open your heart for the one who is worthy of it.

And then don’t give everything away, only a very little bit, bit by bit, and in this way you can share yourself with others."

Should I focus on any part of the body in meditation?

from “Morya Wisdom 2: Simplicity”
(Geert Crevits) © Mayil.com

The person who dives deep within himself in meditation often finds himself in a polarity and, if unaware of this, he will experience an enormous upsurge of power. If he is able to see his head and feet as polarities in his body, he will experience a greater power and be able to reach to a certain simplicity in this power.

If he weren’t able to see this polarity he would feel disunited. He should take enormous powers into account, but especially dare to face the polarities in his life. The top and lower part of the spinal column, as well as the head and the feet, are very important polarities.

The heart holds the polarity within itself: it’s an instrument that brings the two polarities together in order to melt them.

Wherever in the body one experiences polarity: left and right, top and bottom, they will fail to experience it in the heart because both polarities are united there.

This is the reason why one can remain in the heart, no longer running from one thing to another. Those who reside in their hearts find a rest and peace there they cannot find somewhere else in the body or in the world.

The simplicity of the heart, so the simplicity in the heart, is a very positive thing on this Earth and, in itself, the heart becomes a double polarity, because it will attract everything outside of it; its aim is always to bring things together and unite them.

In the heart all polarities unite and you can find a rest and peace there you cannot find somewhere else in the body or in the world.

So someone who lives in the heart, attracts people. Knowing this, a person will have the experience of being able to achieve a great deal working together with people, and this is then unity at work, the realisation of unity upon this Earth."

How can I reach fullfillment?

from “Morya Wisdom 2: Simplicity”

Experiencing fullness

(...) You’ll feel everything outside of you to be, to a certain degree, empty, and if you don’t watch yourself, your own experiences of life may also be empty. But your experiences should be full, for the true self enjoys an overflowing abundance; and whatever is not real brings emptiness and this emptiness will fail to satisfy you.

A person longs for fulfilment, and he must strive for this in his life, in his thinking, his feelings ... so that he can experience this fullness. For this he must give the silence a place in his daily life, the silence that will bring him this fullness, this fulfilment.

To be able to experience fullness in your life, your thinking, your feelings, you must give the silence a place in your daily life.

Giving silence a place in your daily life

This is the reason a person who can be actively engaged in work and yet retain this contact with his innermost self, with this silence, is able to become a happy person; because joy will well up from within him.

He will keep going further and further, becoming competent in his expression of the silence, and the forms he brings to being will embrace this silence. The person will feel within him a kind of union taking place, a melting of the thing together with himself; and this is true meditation. 

What is called meditation is the melting together of something with the innermost being of the person, for in this union he becomes, as it were, the thing itself, while at the same time remaining himself.

Becoming competent in his expression of the silence, the person will feel within him a kind of union taking place.

This capacity human beings have within themselves enables you to eventually become one with God. You remain yourself and yet can become one with God. This is how you can learn to know God as an intimate and profound experience; in the same way you will have learned to have this experience with everyone and everything."

Eventually you can become one with God. You remain yourself and yet can become one with God.
