Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

mercy

compassion
meditation is the search for what to give up in order to find that which cannot be lost.

Meditation is like de-cluttering a house crammed with years of accumulation. Bit by bit we discard old duplicate furniture, all the old newspapers, and even those prized pictures of vacations we took so very long ago. When we finish we are left with an inviting spacious space.

When we de-clutter our minds we are left with mercy.

empty yourself utterly,
bob
