The Way of Divine Ignorance

In this meditation, we notice any sense of expectation that something needs to be acquired or changed. This is expressed as thought and is experienced in the body as a seeking and resisting in the heart. This activity initiates a great search in the world that can never be fulfilled. In this approach, the search is not fulfilled but dissolved, leaving us in the peace of our being. We don't discipline the search, we sink more deeply into being, without expectation or hope. In meditation or prayer, the finite mind sinks into the heart of being and gradually loses the agitation temporarily acquired from experience and comes to rest in the still silent depths of being. As we fall into the heart of being, we fall into love, relinquishing everything we know in ‘the way of divine ignorance'. Such a mind bestows the light of being onto everyone and everything it touches. Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 29 In B Flat Op. 106 “Hammerklavier”, 3rd movement, by Alfred Brendel.
