“When you meditate you discover over and over again that you are not a prisoner of your mind.”
–Andrew Cohen
These so-called spiritual teachers are always in confusion, when they talk about meditation, awareness, consciousness, why?
Because their spirituality based on knowledge and information gathered from scriptures of so many religions and enlightens masters. This is very easy to observe what Andrew Cohen is saying. As one discover him that he is not a prisoner of mind in meditation. Very negative approach. May be he must be prisoner of his mind.
Mind is an instrument to use. There is no need to go against.
As if An artist has to discover that his hands are not prisoners of him because these hand are destroying all the canvas.
When you meditate you discover yourself. The center, where all movement stops. Mind has a center, body has a center, heart has a center, and everything which exists has a center. Meditation is nothing but a technique to reach that center.
Sit down before facts like a child, and then only meditation descends where there is no prison and no prisoners.
