“Why aren’t you doing something? Are you just going to sit there like a vegetable?” Have you ever had anyone say something like this about your meditation practice? Meditation IS action. It is sitting down and witnessing your own self-centeredness. See who you are so when you get up off of the cushion you don’t take the loaded gun in your chest out into the world. Sitting still in front of a wall, doing nothing, is very profound, deep and subtle activity that you really should be doing if you intend to go out into your every day life and interact with family, friends, enemies and society in general. Don’t go out and try to be good or a certain way. Go out into the situation and be completely genuine. You can’t be genuine if you’re afraid of yourself, afraid of your emotions or what you might do. Sit down and find out who you are. This IS action.
