Summary
Art & Science of Meditation
Lord Buddha had rightly said that kill your own Buddha (Mentally forget your Guru), and be your own Buddha. It means that your Guru is only stepping stone to achieve your goals through meditation. Find out the truth through your intuition and meditation and follow your own self. But do not blindly follow any Guru.
To find out the Truth, follow your own choice of philosophy maintaining the basic principles of that philosophy and your truth through meditation.
• We should have open, free and independent mind to receive any new facts or truths, we should not have fixed or prejudiced mind because the complete truth of the Universe or Nature or God is not known to anybody. Every philosophy dose have some truth, hence whenever we realize the truth from anywhere, we should accept it with an open mind.
All philosophers and religious leaders have laid down, some principles of philosophy or religion, according to self-experiences, All religions and philosophies have some truth, but absolute truth is beyond the capacity of human being, so we should read all religions, all philosophies and accept the truth from them with an open mind. Our freedom and independence of mind should not be lost, because everybody has different types of experience and realizes different type of truth.
