Meditation on Emptiness
Meditation on emptiness means to meditate ‘without content’. To our mind, emptiness appears like death. The mind fears death, and so it will fill up with thoughts, images, dreams, illusions – anything at all. In your centre, you are no-thingness. You are an infinitely blissful and joyful space of silence. You are neither the body nor the mind. You are Infinite Consciousness. Meditation is the process of taking away all objects which are ‘objecting’ you. It is emptying the content which you hold inside.
When you meditate on emptiness, you will live a true life; you will enjoy it, love it, and be it. You will be able to carry that emptiness with you, everywhere. There will no longer be thoughts about the self and others; no contemplation around situations; no concentration on specific objects – only awareness. If you are walking, there is only walking. If you are sitting, there is only sitting. If you are talking, there is only talking. If you are looking, there is only looking.
At first, it might seem difficult. However, the more you are aware of your chattering mind, and the emptiness beyond, the more effect this meditation will have. Beyond every noise there is only silence. Beyond every object there is only emptiness. You need to see, experience, and sense everything as emptiness – your body, thoughts, people, objects, sensations – everything as being empty. You are always surrounded by emptiness, both on the inside and the outside. Everything is empty; your witnessing creates the fullness. When all attachments disappear, and all your desires are gone – when there is no longer anything to witness – then the witness will become the witness. When there is nothing left to see, the witness will effortlessly begin to witness itself. When there is nothing left to meditate upon, you are in pure meditation. You are the Infinite Consciousness.
