NON-DUALITY
Don't contemplate as mere activity.
Be void contemplating void.
Once one understands that the
ultimate nature of this existence is void, one understands that to be void is
the only true mode of meditation.
Notice that void is not the object
of meditation. To pair meditator and object creates a dualistic relationship
between self and environment that leads one astray.
In meditation we are searching for
unity. We need something that takes us out of the normal dualistic modes that
are the origins of all our difficulties. Therefore, the only true meditation is
one that does not put us into a relationship of viewer and object. Any object,
no matter how holy, still reinforces the illusion that there is a reality outside
of ourselves. What we are trying to gain is the true interior view: There is no
difference between our inner and outer realities.
The ultimate meditation is the
realization that we ourselves are empty of distinctions, that our sense of
identity is only the result of dualistic clinging. Along with that, we should
understand that there is really nothing to contemplate, nothing to think about.
