dear chaitanya veetraga,<br> | |||
Love. To explore truth one must be free of one's prejudices. | |||
That is : from oneself. | |||
Otherwise one goes round and round in circles. | |||
Because the known can never be the door for the unknown. | |||
And the known is the mind. | |||
So mind becomes the barrier. | |||
Look attentively at this fact. | |||
Be alert of the vicious circles of the mind. | |||
And, then there is transcendence. | |||
The known must be rare for unknown to be. | |||
The known must go for the unknown to come in. | |||
And this creation of the known is meditation. | |||
