Jean Klein

In reality, meditation is from moment to moment.

It is your background.

It is a light behind all perceptions.

It gives life to all perceptions.

It gives reality to all that is perceived.

You can never understand what meditation is or what God is, what love is, what peace or freedom is.

It is beyond the mind.

Don't just take for granted what I say to you.

When you are free from planning, strategies and daydreaming.

you will discover the jewel I offer to you.

Take it.

It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change.

This change is completely spontaneous.

If we make an effort to change

We do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing to another.

We remain in a vicious circle.

This only transfers energy from one point to another.

It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other.

Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still,

is capable of undoing the conditioning our biological, emotional and psychological nature has undergone.
