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.

not personal

Meditation is the pathway to the realization that "things are not personal" - that there are deeper purposes in creation than 'our personal aspirations'.

Perhaps life, as it appears, is, in fact, not personal and not even broken.  Could it be that events are unfolding in precisely the way they should be?  Regular meditation practice leads us to the undeniable fact that we are not in control of a single thing including the next thought that might arise in 'your' mind during 'your' meditation practice.

"All that is hidden in the heavens and earth belong to God, and all authority goes back to Him. So worship Him, and put your trust in Him.  Your Sustainer and Protector is never unaware of what you are doing" (Quran 11:123)

May you find peace in 'your' heart,
bob
