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.

Position during meditation


What is the best position to take during meditation?  Sit as far away from thinking about yourself as possible.   Is it not self concern that causes suffering? At night we completely forget about ourselves and upon awakening we feel refreshed - there is a big clue here. 

Looking at this business about position another way: thinking too much about ourselves is foolishness as everything clearly belongs to God. From the Quran 4:132-134 we have: 

To God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is the only Protector.

If He wills, He can annihilate you, O people, and substitute others in your place. God is certainly able to do this.

Anyone who seeks the materials of this world should know that God possesses both the materials of this world and the Hereafter. God is Hearer, Seer.  

Peace on you.
