"Know Thy Self" by Learning How to "Listen" to Your Self, Part IV
This is part IV of a four part blog. Please see my last three blog entries on October 30, November 1 & 6 for parts I, II, & III.
It is in meditation where you can connect with the essence of your object of attention. It is in meditation where you can eavesdrop on your Self and on the God/Goddess within. It is in meditation where you can come to truly “Know ThySelf.” Why not learn how to experience this sweet ambrosia of the gods? Why not learn how to experience your “Godness?”
As Yogananda wrote:
Meditation or consciousness focused upon itself is the ultimate revealer of who you really are, and what you truly are. You can discover an inner guidance within yourself, and that inner guidance will guide you to the destination you need to go. You have already been guided to many things which are opening you to be aware, but the greatest tool for self knowledge is Meditation.
Also, as Ramana Maharshi wrote:
Look! This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen. In this same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen.
Lastly, this lovely sentence from “The Cloud of Unknowing” an anonymous medieval spiritual classic, sums it all up so beautifully:
So, learning how to still the mind through meditation helps one to learn how to truly listen to one Self and to another. It is in meditation that we access the essence and the heart of the matter, instead of getting all caught up in our heads and in the illusory surface appearance of things.
It is in meditation that we “see things clearly” and come to “know” ourselves and another. It is in this Silence where we can truly be present and Listen!
