more silent you are
The more aware you are
The more meditative you are
The more virtuous you become
Without any cultivation
Of virtue on your part.
Virtue comes of its own accord.
Morality is a cultivation of virtue
And a cultivated virtue is not virtue.
It is only a facade, a pseudo coin.
It can deceive others
But it can't help you in an inner revolution.
In fact, it makes you a hypocrite
one thing on the surface
And just the opposite inside.
Meditation functions
In a totally different way than morality.
Meditation starts form your very centre.
It is not concerned at all with virtue
It is concerned with awareness.
But the miracle is, when you are aware
You can't do wrong, you can't harm anybody
You can't be cruel, you can't be violent.
When you are aware you are naturally loving
Naturally compassionate, naturally non-greedy.
And when these things happen
Naturally, spontaneously
They have a beauty of their own.
My sannyasin has to be virtuous
Not through morality
But via meditation.
It is only through awareness
That one becomes noble, one attains to glory
That one comes to know the splendour of life.
Otherwise life is a drag. Otherwise life
Is nothing but a long long boredom.
It is a suffering.
But it is our responsibility
If it is a suffering.
We can change it into a blissing.
All that is needed is that we should bring
three kinds of awareness to our life.
The first is about our actions,
That is the outermost circumference of our life.
The second is about our thoughts,
That is a little closer to the inner world.
The third is about our feelings,
That is still more close to the inner.
And the fourth is awareness of our being.
The three you have to practise
The fourth happens of it own accord.
When the three are fulfilled
The fourth is the reward.
There are only two possibilities open in life.
One
