Being Alert in Meditation

What does Jesus’s parable about the servant waiting for the Master mean in terms of meditation practice? Rupert says: ‘The Master is your true nature, infinite being, God’s being. And the mind should always be vigilant to be in service of that and to attend that. It means that you use your mind in service of the Master, in service of infinite being and the qualities that are inherent in infinite being. You keep your mind in your heart, in being. That’s where your mind lives, where your mind makes its home. And your mind then goes out from your being and acts in the world on behalf of your being and then comes back to rest there. This relaxed alertness is your natural condition. And then that alertness can be focused on an object when required. And when not required, you just go back to this kind of unfocused alertness.’
