When
we meditate I encourage all of us to have the attitude that we are
meditating to dissolve the self. That’s why we meditate. Hold this
perspective in your awareness and let your dualistic mind dissolve
for at least a half hour, or at least for ten minutes every day. When
you allow yourself to witness that unexpected glimpse of the truth,
where the self is dissolved, it’s like drinking nectar. It’s
inexpressible. We often use the word bliss
to
describe that state. Bliss
is
a good word, but it can be misunderstood. The bliss that I am
speaking about has nothing to do with ordinary bliss. It’s not like
the bliss of having great food or other sensual pleasure. This is
nonconceptual bliss that is not based on emotions but is based on
awareness. We often say that realizing the true nature of who we are
is like drinking the nectar of ultimate bliss. The more we drink, the
more we are going to be addicted, which is very good.
