that it becomes awareness
it is the same energy: you can use it as thought
you can use it as awareness
we don't have many energies
we have only one energy
but there are different manifestations
of the same energy
meditation is not using your energy as thinking
but using your energy as awareness
just being silent -- watching, waiting, seeing
the more you become a seer, the less a thinker
the closer you are to the truth, to the light
the moment your seeing is absolute
you have arrived home
meditation is an inward journey
on the outside there are challenges
there are adventures
but they are nothing compared to the
inner challenges and inner adventures
there are enemies on the outside
but the inner enemies are far bigger
only one thing is different, and that is that
the inner enemies are our own creation
so the moment we decide to destroy them
in that very moment they can be destroyed
they are our make-believe
mind, ego, greed, anger, jealousy, possessiveness
all these enemies are there
but we have been feeding them, nourishing them
we can chop off their heads in a single blow
a whole army can be uprooted
in a single moment of insight
and that's what meditation is
a moment of insight in which you can see
how you have been creating your own enemies
and that very seeing
becomes the death of all your enemies
one reaches to the ultimate truth
by using these inner enemies as stepping stones
of course only their corpses
can be used as stepping stones
while they are alive they will create trouble
they will pull your legs in every direction
they will not easily give way
hence just fighting won't help
understanding is the key
try to understand the inner enemies
and a miracle happens
any enemy totally understood
evaporates in that very understanding
try to understand jealousy and it is no more
try to understand the ego and it
