Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Visitor: What is the difference between meditation and distraction?Maharshi: No difference. When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation. However, meditation is only practice (as distinguished from the real state of Peace.) She: How to practice meditation?Maharshi: Keep off thoughts.She: How to reconcile work with meditation?Maharshi: Who is the worker? Let him who works ask the question. You are always the Self. You are not the mind. It is the mind which raises these questions. Work proceeds, always in the presence of the Self only. Work is no hindrance to realisation. It is the mistaken identity of the worker that troubles one. Get rid of the false identity.Source: From Talk 68 -- à°“à°‚  నమో  à°à°—వతే  శà±à°°à±€  రమణాయ  పà±à°°à°¶à°¾à°‚తౠ జలసూతà±à°°à°‚ à°ªà±à°°à±‡à°®à±‡ శాశà±à°µà°¤à°®à±  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
