A
standing down
The Zen
Buddhists call it just sitting.
Meher
advises the repetition of His name.
A Sufi
might whirl instead, a monk contemplate.
Meditation
is not a method of transcendence
or
self-improvement. It is merely a
standing down,
allowing
God to run the universe (alone) for a while –
a rest
from obsessive judging and tampering.
It’s an
obeisance, a demonstration of faith,
a
consciously assumed vulnerability.
It’s a
quiet, desireless surrender, awaiting
the
moment God, at His sole discretion,
scoops
you up and takes you back into the fold.
O child
of God, meditation should never be
considered
a method to gain God’s grace.
