Just Sitting' Again…

Before entering into the next session, let us enjoy this beautiful morning. Let us just sit. Let us allow the Upanishad to happen. Upanishad means, just sitting (at the feet of the master). When I say just sit, I mean - no mantra, no meditation, no technique, no concentration, no awareness method. Just sitting, that's all. Even if you are restless, even if your mind is asking how to just sit, don't bother. Just sit as you are. Let your eyes be closed. Just sit. Close your eyes.

(Some time passes)

Relax.

You can relax.

Just sitting for no reason, without any technique, can do so much in you. The process can happen so beautifully by just sitting. In Zen, they call it Zazen.

The 'just sitting' is a thousand times more effective than any other technique, because in any technique, in any method, you will be busy. I can't catch you as you are, but in 'just sitting', I can catch you as you are. Even if it is a little difficult, just struggle with that difficulty and sit. Only then, I will know exactly in which space you are. Then, it will be easy for the master's presence to work. The master's presence is like an intense energy that will start working on you if you are as you are.

When you are sitting as you are, the process happening will be really deep. I can see from the morning until now, there is an increasing silence happening in each of you! When you just sit, the presence of the master works so much on you. If you are already working with something, it becomes a little difficult for me to work on you. With you just sitting, I can do a lot more on you.
