“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?’
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 is 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 will be able to let it go, and this means that you will be able to find peace.
You can only do this when you have found 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.
You can try to live in such a way that you feel and experience a peace whenever you come out of your meditation: ‘I will let the other be himself, be herself, 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.
Try to feel and experience a peace: ‘I will let the other be himself, be herself, I’m not going to do anything more about it.’
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. This peace can become just like a bird that is perched on someone’s finger in the dark and that, when the light is turned on, starts with fright at being with someone but yet, because the light is then just as quickly turned off, stays in its place. It’s the same when you come out of your meditation and carry the light of the meditation with you. Then you can see the world as it is, then it startles you that it’s the way it is or you may even find it to be nice or other than otherwise. Afterwards this will ebb away, because the darkness of life will again take the upper hand. But the light can grow.
You can always go into a greater light, experience a greater peace; become aware that you can and may experience this peace. When you can and when you may do this, then finally you will allow the other to be himself, as annoying as that may be.
Allow the other to be annoying or to act wrongly.
Try to understand this. The other can and may be quite annoying, and you should allow this; allow it and don’t do anything about it. The big problem with people is mostly that they think: ‘the other is acting wrongly and I should do something about it.’ This is not so.”
