“Many people do not quite get the real reason of meditation and sitting in silence. They think it is a means to make the self better or improve a defective person.
The real meaning and purpose of meditation is to allow all the assumptions, false beliefs and judgments that you have made about who you think you are to fall apart, and in doing so uncover your true nature.
This true nature is also called ‘buddha nature‘ and is accessible to everyone equally. It a state of complete friendliness, compassion and equanimity with who you really are.
When you approach meditation and life with the open curiosity and deep compassion of becoming friends with your deepest self instead of ‘fixing yourself,’ you see it in an entirely different light.” www.upliftconnect.com
