The Greatest Mistake People Make in Meditation

"The greatest mistake
people on the spiritual path make
is trying to turn spirituality into some sort
of understanding or knowledge.  

Spirituality is about
discovering the truth beyond the mind;
to realize what is truly here
beyond your definitions,
knowledge and judgments.  

For this realization to happen
two things are needed:
One is some form of enlightened energy,
call it grace, shaktipat or deeksha.  

And the other is practice:
practicing keeping your focus inward,
on that which is beyond the mind.  

Anything that can be defined or understood
is still mind and should be discarded.  

Most people approach spirituality as
'First let me figure it all out and then I will practice.'  

The problem is
the more you know about spirituality,
the further you are from actually experiencing it.  

You could sit down every day
and practice even the simplest meditation technique
and through this practice
you will attain states of peace and truth
that one who has read all the books
and know all the teachings
could only imagine.  

Understanding awareness
is what kills awareness.  

The mind cannot get enlightened.  

It is what keeps you from it.  

So whenever you find yourself
seeking spiritual knowledge
or thinking about what you know about spirituality,
let it all go
and come back to being present.  

It can be as simple as
watching your breath.  

This alone can awaken you to truth.
