You Have It Wrong

"To know what is right meditation is much more important than earning a livelihood, getting married, having money, property, because without understanding, these things are all destroyed. So the understanding of the heart is the beginning of meditation."—Jiddu Krishnamurti

But even if we are inclined to agree with this teacher, his warning still begs the question, "How do I learn to meditate?"

If we are given instruction, our meditation will be formal and lifeless. If we receive no instruction, we can easily become confused and distracted and lose our way.

Perhaps the way out of this conundrum is to begin at once and to read what the wisest teachers have to say about the wrong way to meditate. Then moment-by-moment we can discover the right way for ourselves.
