Meditation

Sri Sri:

Meditation is accepting the present moment as it is, living every moment totally, in depth.

What can you do when desires come up? Just accept them and let go. That is meditation. Do not hold on to them and day dream. You have no control over your desires. When you say, "Oh, I should not have desire", that will become a desire. Asking, "When will I be free of the desires," is again another desire. As they come up, recognize them and let go.

This process is called sanyas. Offer all as they come, as they arise in you, and be centered. When you can do that, nothing can shake you, nothing can take you away from 'That', otherwise small things can shake you, and then you are sad and upset. A few words from here and there or some insult can make you sad.

This is a test for you, how easily you could let go of all that. That is the art of letting go. Life teaches you the art of letting go in every event. The more you learn to let go, the happier you will be. When you learn to let go, you will be joyful. As you start being joyful, more will be given to you. Those who have more, more and more will be given to them. That is meditation.
