I completely got lost in Shinzen’s reading that I forgot the Question;
"What is your own test for meditation in action?"
Test – Test? If one has to test self, then there is limited amount of trust to belief in ‘own-true-self’
So I replace 'Test' with ‘Trust’ - Trust, listen and allow of giving ‘life’ to real ‘self’
Over time I have learnt to listen, and still learning to listen to my internal self, so there is freedom of speech, freedom of acknowledging ‘self’ in my life...
So it doesn’t matter if I am sitting in the lotus position, sitting on a bus, train, or just laying down on the grass with my true self, self is not discriminatory as to where a moment of quiet time is to be, self is just ‘there’. When the true self is driving this vessel, I know ‘I am’ safe in the passenger’s seat,
For, that 'trust' leads and teaches me peace in conflicting times, heals me when sick times, warms me in cold times, and loves me – when I forget
Even if that trust leads one on a journey you don’t want to have – The lesson will be phenomenal!!!!
No matter where, when, or how – just try and trust self’s request for meditation, even if it is a quiet meditation moment, you are paying a courtesy to ‘self ‘to rest in that moment..
