Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 (translator - Swami Chetanananda) Truly, everything in this universe is filled through and through by your Atman alone. Thus, there is no meditator or meditation in your mind. How is it that you are meditating without any sense of shame? (comments) Shame - There is a chance of misunderstanding this utterance of Dattatreya. People may think meditation is useless, which is not true. The purpose of meditations is illumination. But Dattatreya was a knower of Brahman, and he instructed from his level of realization. His idea is; A human being by nature is free, and one's meditation presupposes a shameful forgetfulness of one's true divine nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
