    From the Book

    "The very inquiry into what is meditation will open the door to meditation."

    "A system of meditation is not meditation. A system implies a method which you practise in order to achieve something at the end. Something practised over and over again becomes mechanical, does it not? How can a mechanical mind-which has been trained and twisted, tortured to comply to the pattern of what it calls meditation, hoping to achieve a reward at the end-be free to observe, to learn?"

    "Meditation is renewal; it is an intense passive awareness, the burning away of the desire to continue, to become... Only when the mind ceases is there creation."
