What is meditation?

 Book of Life

Jiddu Krishnamurti


What is meditation?


Our old brain is the conditioned

Animalistic brain

Cultivated through centuries of time-

That is everlastingly seeking its own security,

Own comfort!


It is only when that old brain is quiet-

You will see that there is a different 

Kind of movement together! -

And it is this movement that is going to 

Bring clarity! 


To understand, you must understand teh old brain-

Be aware if it , know all movements,

Its activities , its demands , its pursuits

And that is why meditation is needed; 


Through meditation, I meant to understand the 

Operations of the Old Brain

Watch it to know how it reacts

Its responses, ite tendencies

Its demands, its aggressive pursuits 


When you it

There is awareness of it

without controlling it

Without directing it

 Without saying


This good! 

This is bad! 

I will keep this!  

I won't keep that!


When you see the total movement of the mind

When you see it totally 

Then it becomes quiet!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics!
