Revealing What is Hidden
Meditation,
simply defined, is a way of being aware. It is the happy marriage of
doing and being. It lifts the fog of our ordinary lives to reveal what
is hidden; it loosens the knot of self-centeredness and opens the heart;
it moves us beyond mere concepts to allow for a direct experience of
reality. Meditation embodies the way of awakening: both the path and its
fruition. From one point of view, it is the means to awakening; from
another, it is awakening itself.
