Tilopa's poem about (non)meditation

Postby Jackal » 14 Oct 2009, 01:02

Here is something by an ancient Buddhist master about meditation and the nature of mind, which is pretty to read if you're in the mood for it.

http://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/T/Tilop ... Mahamu.htm

Here's a great quote from it:
Obsessive use of meditative disciplines
or perennial study of scripture and philosophy
will never bring forth this wonderful realization,
this truth which is natural to awareness,
because the mind that desperately desires
to reach another realm or level of experience
inadvertently ignores the basic light
that constitutes all experience.
The one who fabricates
any division in consciousness
betrays the friendship of Mahamudra.
Cease all activity that separates,
abandon even the desire to be free from desires
and allow the thinking process to rise and fall
smoothly as waves on a shoreless ocean.

So if you desire to get enlightened, then that desire will prevent you from getting enlightened? Then how can you reach enlightenment then?
“Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.” - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

well i guess one CAN try too hard - i mean the psketics must spend hours and hours thinking about how to debunk things - and we could hardly call some of them "enlightened " now could we ?? :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

but seriously ,i can see the point that if you try too hard and focus too hard on things - then this COULD affect your perception of things and even reality **- as i know some "super woo's " who are SO convinced that everything is paranormal AND everywhere IS haunted - they are incapable of rational introspection as to what is and what is not - and even I ( a believer by my own admission ) have no time for them - basically what this is saying ( i think) is don't try too hard and just let things come as they will - don't try and force results ;)

* those who see "demons" in everything are a case in point - but don't get me started on that subject :lol: :lol:

Meditation is must required in globalization world. All person live a life to get the all things as possible as fast. So, there is the lot of pressure on the mind. To give the rest to the mind then meditation is useful for it. You can do it at anywhere. I have visited to your mention URL. But it is so much lines of the poem.
Mistakes are the portal of discovery.
