The easiest way
To get into the meditative state
Is to begin by listening
If you simply close your eyes
And allow yourself to hear
All the sounds that are going on around you
Just listen to the general
Humm and buzz of the world
As if you were listening to music
Don't try to identify the sounds you're hearing
Don't put names on them
Simply allow them to play with your ear drums
And let them go
Let your ears hear whatever they want to hear
Don't judge the sounds
There's no as it were proper sounds or improper sounds
It doesn't matter if someone coughs or sneezes or drops something
It's all just sound
Don't try to make any sense out of what I am saying
Because your brain will take care of that automatically
You don't have to try to understand anything
Just listen to the sound
Just listen to the sound
Just listen to the sound
Now it's amazing what doesn't exist in the real world
For example
In the real world there aren't any things
Nor are there any events
That doesn't mean to say
That the real world is a perfectly features blank
It means that it is a marvelous system of wiggles
In which we describe things and events
In the same way as we would project images on a - block
Or pick out particular groups of stars in the sky
And call them constellations as if they were separate groups of stars
They're groups of stars in the mind's eye
In our system of concepts
They are not out there as constellations already grouped in the sky
So in the same way the difference between myself
And all the rest of the universe
Is nothing more than an idea
It is not a real difference
And meditation is the way in which we come to feel
Our basic inseparability
From the whole universe
And what that requires is
That we
Shut up
To get into the meditative state
Is to begin by listening
If you simply close your eyes
And allow yourself to hear
All the sounds that are going on around you
Just listen to the general
Humm and buzz of the world
As if you were listening to music
Don't try to identify the sounds you're hearing
Don't put names on them
Simply allow them to play with your ear drums
And let them go
Let your ears hear whatever they want to hear
Don't judge the sounds
There's no as it were proper sounds or improper sounds
It doesn't matter if someone coughs or sneezes or drops something
It's all just sound
Don't try to make any sense out of what I am saying
Because your brain will take care of that automatically
You don't have to try to understand anything
Just listen to the sound
Just listen to the sound
Just listen to the sound
Now it's amazing what doesn't exist in the real world
For example
In the real world there aren't any things
Nor are there any events

Shut up
