BE KIND TO YOUR MIND WHEN MEDITATION

Make friends with the mind.  You cannot tell the mind: “Do this, do not do that”, like a child. Yet  this is what we are doing here in meditation. We come here, we sit  in an unusual position and tell the mind: “No thoughts, no sounds,  no one should be moving, no one should cough”. We want  something different, something special from the mind.  -   Godwin Samararatne
