The ultimate meaning of meditation is rest.

No one can insult me because I dont want respect. This is what receiving respect
is.
No one can defeat me because I have dropped the very idea of winning. How can
you defeat me? You can only defeat one who wants to win. It is a strange fact.
Know yourself as the witness.
This is the most important sutra in existence. Be a witness. Wisdom will happen
through it.
Nonattachment will happen through it. Liberation will happen through it. The que
stions were three
but the answer is one.
If you can separate yourself from the physical body, and rest in consciousness, t
hen this very
moment you will be happy, at peace, and free of bondage.If you can separate yourse
lf from the physical body, and rest in
consciousness, then this very moment you will be happy, at peace, and free of bo
ndage.
Rest in consciousness. Relax, let yourself unwind. Let go of this tension.
Where are you going? There is nowhere to go, there is nowhere to reach to. ... an
d rest in
consciousness, then right now, this very moment you will be happy, at peace, and f
ree of bondage.
Ashtavakra says it can happen right now. There is no need to delay even a single
moment. There
is no reason to leave it for tomorrow, no need to postpone it. This happening do
es not occur in the
future, it happens now or never. When it happens it happens right now, because t
here is no time
except now. Where is the future? When it comes, it comes as now.
So those who have become enlightened, have become enlightened in the now. Do not
leave it for
some other time that is the cunning of the mind. The mind argues: How can it happ
en so fast?
Get ready first.
The first sutra: Ashtavakra said, You are the one observer of all, and in reality
always free. Your
bondage is this: you see the other not yourself as the observer.
Gurdjieff used to tell his disciples, If you want to know your soul, you will hav
e to leave other people
alone. He was right. For centuries masters have been saying this. If you want to
know yourself you
will have to stop looking for your image in the eyes of others.
Ashtavakra says mans nature is to be a seer, an observer; it is neither to be a p
erformer nor a
spectator.
A spectator is one whose eyes are on others.
And the observer is one whose eyes are on himself.
That is why Ashtavakra says: ... in reality free. One is not bound. Bondage is imp
ossible, because
only God is, only one is. There is nothing that binds, nor anything to be bound.
... In reality
always free. This is why a man like Ashtavakra says, if you wish you can be free
this very moment
because you are already free. There is nothing preventing freedom, there was nev
er any bondage
you only believed you were bound.

I am not the doer, drink this nectar of trust and be happy.
In Arabia there is a saying that when God makes a man, he whispers in his ear, Ne
ver has a better
man than you existed. And he says it to everybody. This joke is very deep. And ev
ery person lives
with this idea in his head, No man greater than me has ever existed, I am the hig
hest being ever
created. Who cares whether anyone believes me or not? that is their problem. But
I am the
highest in creation.
