Beautiful teaching. Sometimes the inward door is jammed from the inside, and love is the only key that still turns.

Maybe meditation isn’t about silence at all. Maybe it’s about dissolving the “me” that wants to be good at it.

Not able to meditate or too many thoughts coming up is common theme.

One spiritual master taught focusing on space between thoughts.

Slowly space increases and practitioners can rest in true silence

Thanks, Nehal, that’s true. I’ve mentioned under the subheading “Divine Secret of Seva” above how those “spaces of stillness” increase through selfless service when the mind stops repeating its personal story.
