Meditation Across Self|33
of soul is for attaining body-lessness. There is no health where there is the awareness of existence of the body, even if the awareness is a healthy one. The real attainment of health is there where there is no possibility at all of the feeling of the body.
Fellow-sadhakas consult me regarding the philosophy of consciousness, for sensing the eternity. My advice always is to raise one's own self. If you must get the brightness of pot, then it should be rubbed clean first. The only way to see yourself alight is to have a glimpse of yourself is non-body, non-speech, non-mind. Unless you are capable of seeing across solids as if they are transparent objects, you would not be able to reach yourself. If you wish to know even me, see across-the-body. Because I am not a body. I am inside a body, but I am not a body. View your own self too in this manner--across the screens of the body. The experience of body-lessness is the keyhole, through which the glimpses of the originalities decorating the chamber of the inner life, can be made available. Body is inanimate, and the burial of the feeling of identification to the inanimate is obligatory. There is a huge crowd of words and deafening noise inside the mind. He rises above the mind of every body, who rises above the mind of his own self. The see-through of the mind doesn't just see himself aloof from the body, the speech and the mind, but also evaluates others' life with the vision of the soul. Differential science is but the name of this scientific initiative of the soul.
Meditation is our eyes. The life of a person, who loses grip of meditation, turns from ‘shiv' (the supreme power that brings wellbeing) to 'shav' (a corpse). The poor fellow will have to be called a blind man, who has lost his eyes, but the bigger blind is be who has pierced the needle of recklessness in the eyes of meditation.
Just this morning, a gentleman came to me. Said, I have been meditating for the last twenty years, daily for four-five hours at that. My teacher has taught me meditation. I asked, how is that? Promptly he sat in the 'padmasan' posture made himself motionless like a statue. I said, “Your photograph in this posture would be unique. But what kind of meditation is that which converts a person into a statue ?”
