Solitude.
“Abiding in the Self is solitude.”
– Sri Ramana Maharshi
Meditation can be as simple as a moment alone…
Alone, in solitude, without thought, without attention to the outer world, only within, alone, in oneness with the self.
The true self, not the small self.
That vast, spacious, consciousness self, that is found only through breathing deeply, and diving silently into the ocean within.
“Controlling speech and breath, and diving deep within oneself — like one who, to find a thing that has fallen into water, dives deep down — one must seek out the source whence the aspiring ego springs.”
– Sri Ramana Maharshi
Today, spend a moment alone. Every day, spend a moment alone.
