Words3!

Every Word carries with it a big baggage for we attach to it our impressions, likes and dislikes. For example if I say durian, then straight away we have an image of a thorny fruit that is beloved by many and considered diabolical by others! And for the chap who has NO idea what this delectable fruit is, his Mind goes blank!

Hence,

We call it "meditation" and then get ourselves Utterly confused when it does not "fit" into our image of what meditation is supposed to be.

Why not drop the label "meditation"?

I am just watching my Mind, that's all.


So hard to see,
so very, very subtle,
alighting wherever it likes:
the mind.
The wise should guard it.
The mind protected
brings ease.
