Meditation (1)

When you turn your head from horizon to horizon your eyes see a vast space in which all the things of the earth and of the sky appear. But this space is always limited where the earth meets the sky. Similarly the space in the mind is so small. In this little space all our activities seem to take place: the daily living ,the hidden struggles with contradictory desires and motives, the numerous pursuits, the ambitions, the conflict. In this little space the mind seeks freedom, and so it is always a prisoner of itself. A prisoner within its limits and perimeters, the circumference!Meditation is the ending of this little space. The breaking down of the frontiers and the circumference. To most of us, all our actions are directed to bringing about order in this little space of the mind.
