The Essence of Meditation Is to Know Thyself

Relax the focus of attention from the content of experience. Come back to simply being. All difficulties in life stem from the fact that we have forgotten our self. We don't really forget our self completely. Everybody always has the sense of being their self, but it is mixed with the content of experience so we don’t see our self clearly. The essence of meditation is to see clearly, to know thyself as that which never leaves but remains constantly present in the background of all experience. When we separate our self from everything that is not essential to us, what remains is naked, self-aware being. Remain as that, not just in prayer or meditation, but throughout all activities and relationships. It is what ‘I am’. Whilst lost in the content of experience returning to our self seems to require effort. Eventually, we realise that it is what we are, not what we do. We sink deeply into our being.
