Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - July 19, 2020 💌
The final step in integrating meditation into your awareness is to use
the stuff of daily life as part of your meditation. There are ways of
perceiving the world and the way you live in it such that each
experience brings you more deeply into the meditative space.
At the same time, however, this kind of meditation requires firm
grounding: you must continue to function effectively in the world as you
meditate on it. This is meditation in action. It finally becomes the
core of a consciously lived life, a meditative space within you. This
space stands between each thing you notice and each response you make,
allowing a peaceful, quiet, and spacious view of the universe.
