Remain as Being

If we think of meditation as something that we do, either trying to focus the mind, control the mind or still the mind, then we can have successful meditations and unsuccessful meditations. But if we just consider meditation as being, then there's no such thing as success or failure in meditation. Meditation is not something that we do but what we essentially are. Simply being has no goal. It does not require effort. There are no degrees of maturity in just being, but most people's experience of being is clouded by their experience of thoughts, feelings, actions and relationships. Bring the feeling of being out of the background into the foreground. In everyday life, experience clouds being; in meditation, being outshines experience. Remain as being.
