Everything is naturally perfect just as it is.
All phenomena appear in their uniqueness as part of the continually changing pattern. These patterns are vibrant with meaning and significance at every moment; yet there is no
significance to attach to such meanings beyond the moment in which they
present themselves.
This is the dance of the five elements in which matter is
a symbol of energy and energy a symbol of emptiness. We are a symbol of
our own enlightenment.

What Meditation Is
Meditation is a word, and words are used in different ways by different speakers. This may seem like a trivial point, but it is not. It is quite important to distinguish exactly what a particular speaker means by the words he uses. Every culture on earth, for example, has produced some sort of mental practice which might be termed meditation. It all depends on how loose a definition you give to that word. Everybody does it, from Africans to Eskimos. The techniques are enormously varied, and we will make no attempt to survey them. There are other books for that. For the purpose of this volume, we will restrict our discussion to those practices best known to Western audiences and most likely associated with the term meditation.

Nisargadartta Maharaj: A Meditation on Continuity
Here is a dialogue from the famous book, I am That, by Nisargadatta Maharaj, 65: A Quiet Mind is All You Need:
Q: Does not the knower know itself?
M: The mind is discontinuous. Again and again it blanks out, like in sleep or swoon, or distraction. There must be something continuous to register discontinuity.
Q: The mind remembers. This stands for continuity.
M: Memory is always partial, unreliable and evanescent. It does not explain the strong sense of identity pervading consciousness, the sense of ‘I am’.

The Noble Eightfold Path
Someone said to me today regarding about the Noble Eightfold Path:
“I am a little bit skeptic about any path. They enforce the ego.”After writing my response to the person, I decided I should post it here too, just in case someone way may feel the same way.
“The ego wants to be in the center of everyone’s life.
When ever a Spiritual Path is followed with determination, the ego becomes threatened, because now it feels like it is losing grip of our life (body and mind).
