el llac de la ment ( de la meditació ) - the mind´s lake ( about meditation )
La meditación es algo simple. Precisamente debido a su sencillez, parece difícil. Tu mente está acostumbrada a tratar con problemas difíciles y ha olvidado por completo cómo reponder a las cosas simples de la vida. Cuanto más sencilla es una cosa, más didícil le parece a la mente, porque la mente es muy eficiente resolviendo cosas complicadas. Ha sido entrenada para resolver temas complicados; no parece saber como tratar con lo sencillo. La meditación es algo sencillo, tú mente es lo complejo. No es un problema que esté creando la meditación. El problema proviene de tu mente, no de la meditación.
Puedes observar o el vientre o la nariz, lo que te pareczca o sea más fácil para ti. Lo que sea más fácil es lo que importa. Y simplemente observando el aliento, los milagros suceden.
Te gustaría hacer muchas cosas y no hay nada que hacer; ése es el problema. Es un gran problema porque se nos ha enseñado ha hacer cosas. Preguntamos qué deberíamos hacer y la meditación supone un estado de no hacer, no has de hacer nada, has de dejar de hacer. Has de estar en un estado de total inactividad. Incluso el pensar es hacer; abandónalo también. El hacer, el sentir, el pensar, todo desaparece; simplemente eres. Esto es ser. Y ser es meditación. Es muy simple.
En el útero de tu madre estabas en el mismo espacio. En vipassana estarás entrando de nuevo en el mismo espacio. Y recordarás, tendrás un deja-vu. Cuando entras en el vipassana profundo, te sorprenderás porque lo conoces, tú lo has conocido antes. Lo reconocerás inmediatamente porque nueve meses en el útero de tu madre estabas en el mismo espacio,y no hacías nada, simplemente eras.
No es la meditación la que toma tiempo -permíteme recordartelo de nuevo- es tu mente compleja. Tiene que ser llevada a un descanso, a un estado relajado. Eso toma tiempo.
Y no pienses en términos de éxito y fracaso. ¡Disfruta! Tampoco te orientes a una meta. Disfruta el puro silencio vigilando tu respiración que entra y sale, y pronto tendrás una belleza, una nueva experiencia de belleza y beatitud. Pronto verás que uno no necesita ir a algún lado para ser dichoso . Uno puede sentarse silenciosamente, puede estar solo, y puede ser dichoso.No se necesita nada más, sólo el latir de la vida es bastante. Si tú puedes latir con ella, se vuelve un profundo baile interno .
La meditación es una danza de tú energía, y la respiración es la llave.
Meditation is simple. Precisely because it is simple, it looks difficult. Your mind is accustomed to dealing with difficult problems, and it has completely forgotten how to respond to the simple things of life. The more simple a thing is, the more difficult it looks to the mind, because the mind is very efficient in solving difficult things. It has been trained to solve difficult things; it does not know how to tackle the simple. Meditation is simple; your mind is complex. It is not a problem that meditation is creating. The problem is coming from your mind, not from meditation.
You can watch either at the belly or at the nose, whichever feels right for you or whichever feels easier for you. That it be easier is the point. And just watching the breath, miracles happen. Meditation is not difficult. It is simple. Precisely because it is simple you are feeling the difficulty. You would like to do many things, and there is nothing to do; that is the problem. It is a great problem, because we have been taught to do things. We ask what should be done, and meditation means a state of non-doing: you do not have to do anything, you have to stop doing. You have to be in a state of utter inaction. Even thinking is a kind of doing -- drop that too. Feeling is a kind of doing -- drop that too. Doing, thinking, feeling -- all gone, you simply are. That is being. And being is meditation. It is very simple.
In your mother's womb you were in the same space. In Vipassana you will be entering again into the same space. And you will remember, you will have a deja-vu. When you enter into deep Vipassana, you will be surprised that you know it, you have known it before. You will recognize it immediately because for nine months in your mother's womb you were in the same space, doing nothing, just being.
Don't think in terms of success or failure. Those terms are not applicable in the world of meditation. Forget all about that. Those are mind terms; they are comparative. And that's the problem: you must be watching others succeeding, reaching, ecstatic, and you will be feeling very low. You will be feeling silly, sitting and looking at your breath, watching your breath. You must be looking very silly and nothing is happening. Nothing is happening because you are expecting something to happen too much.
Meditation is simple, but you have become so complex that to relax it will take time. It is not the meditation that is taking time -- let me remind you again -- it is your complex mind. It has to be brought down to a rest, to a relaxed state. That takes time.
And don't think in terms of success and failure. Enjoy ! Don't be too goal-oriented. Enjoy the sheer silence of watching your breath coming in, going out, and soon you will have a beauty, a new experience of beauty and beatitude. Soon you will see that one need not go anywhere to be blissful. One can sit silently, be alone, and be blissful. Nothing else is needed, just the pulsation of life is enough. If you can pulsate with it, it becomes a deep inner dance.
