*Consciously Engage in Meditation* 💎
“Keep meditating. Make it a routine. Even if you can’t do anything, just sit quietly. Just to meditate, deliberately, a certain time is enough; just the idea that for one hour you will sit for meditation, and then you sit. Even if you do nothing; you just sit under a tree or in your room; slowly, slowly that one hour becomes the most precious time.
You start looking forward to it. You wait for it. Slowly, slowly something starts building up inside you; that one hour becomes sacred. And you can see the difference between your other twenty-three hours and that one hour. It is like a diamond in a pile of pebbles: it sparkles; it has a grandeur of its own. And that one hour finally becomes the only time left. Everything else becomes useless. One day one realizes that those were the only moments he lived.
When the German poet, When Goethe was dying, someone said, “In your long life you must have enjoyed many beautiful moments.” He was a man of great ability, one of the greatest geniuses in the world, and multifaceted. But this question made him very sad. He said, “If I count, it cannot be more than two weeks in my whole life. But those are the only two weeks I have really lived—moments far and wide; those were the real moments. I have lived only two weeks, the rest is just wasted.” If Goethe said that, what about an ordinary man?—not even two weeks.
But if one meditates, one simply sits for meditation, keeps that one hour sacred and set apart, then gradually that one hour becomes a window: it begins to give you glimpses of the beyond. In that one hour you open up to something unknown, mysterious. You begin to feel the presence of what can only be called divine; there is no other word to express it. That one hour becomes a transformational process. So even if nothing happens in the beginning, don’t worry; just sit for that one hour. It yields very good results. If you can, do dynamic, kundalini, or just dance.
