Concentration and Meditation

Are concentration and meditation same?

Concentration and Meditation are not same. Concentration is a way to go in meditation.

You select an object for concentration then give attention on it so that your mind do not wander here and there. This is concentration you can do but not meditation.

You have to just be in meditation because meditation is not a process to do something. Your thinking process stops there. You and your concentration object becomes one in it. You go beyond yourself.

Once a salt doll went to measure the depth of Ocean. It wanted to tell others how deep the water was. But this it could never do, for no sooner did it get into the water it melted. Now, who was there to report the ocean's depth.

23. Can I consider my pet cat to be my spiritual master? No, because a domesticated cat is not as alert or attentive as a wild cat. The wild cat does not walk on built paths. All his actions arise with alertness. But a pet cat, having all the comforts, can become relaxed, lose its alertness. It can be your slave. How dangerous is the word 'pet'. Can you pet a guru? And the guru who agrees to be domesticated loses being a master. If the cat has to be made a master, then make a wild cat, which is not pet. You can learn to be aware, alert or attentive to it. Pay attention to that how conscious it is to walk, get up, eat. She also appears awake in sleep. You can enter spirituality through this awareness. Learn to be alert like a wild cat. The cat would be spiritual or not you will become spiritual.

The Race

What is in the race of life, which is often missed? Life itself is left in the race of life. Life is not a race. When all your races stop, you realize life. We have seen everyone running in our lives, and we have also learned to run. We are just running. We do not even know why we are running. Where do we want to go? Do you know what life is? What is my being? Who am I? Where am I from? Where have I to go or I am just running without any reason. You will not get anywhere from this race, and you will regret when there is no running power. The purpose of life is life itself. But we know the race and forge life. Know the life and forget the race. Life will live by itself. Leave yourself to life. flow through the stream of life. One day you will find the sea. Now don't ask what is life? Have to know life, have to live.

Full of Love and Joy

Who is right to live, for myself or for others? Living is right for yourself. To live for others is to deceive oneself. Giving love to others is the way to get love. If you make someone happy, that happiness will one day become poison. Because you are not happy in your life. You are not full of love. Unless you have access to love or bliss, you cannot share it. Unless a plant is full of flowers, a tree is not laden with fruits, they cannot share their flowers and fruits. When you are full of joy and love, you do not have to ask to share it. It is a bliss to share it. When Gautama Buddha was not enlightened, he kept silent as if he were nowhere. But as soon as he became available to e enlightenment and bliss, he started searching for his friends to share it. When he reached home, wife Yashodhara jokingly told his son Rahul, "Look, this is your father who is a monk. Go and ask for the property that you want from him." Then the Buddha initiated Rahul. He said, &quo
