The best people will be giving and are given the best. When you come to meditation, come to the best. The real purpose of meditation is to come to the best of the best, or the creator of the best. When we start meditation, why do we only come to small purposes? Through meditation you should go, reach, get and receive the best of the best.

Since we are human beings, we have our own level of meditation. Mostly it is created by ourselves and by the environment that surrounds us such as the association we are in, through food, social media and more. When we do meditation we will “create” our own version. Sometimes your meditation teacher will show you a particular technique but whilst you are listening to the explanation and in between the teachings, you will “create your own meditation” inside your mind, your own purpose of meditation. That is why many people are not ready to come to religious, holy books as they will translate the teachings into another way, which is the opposite. For example, the main purpose of religion is to teach and spread love. Most people will translate the spreading of love into killing instead. Love will be translated to anger, lust, greed, and killing instead of peace, brotherhood and friendship.

Learning meditation is a chance for you to get the best as the teaching is from the creator of the best. Take the best, receive the best, be the best. Avoid imagining and creating your own meditation. From the very start of your teacher’s teachings, just listen. Do not interfere with the lesson, do not cook your lesson with your own spices, let the teacher become the cook of the lesson. Listen in a humble way and try not to interfere with your mind. When you open yourself, the real teaching will follow and that teaching will give the best. That is the way to protect us from creating our own meditation.

When people are not ready to enter the correct meditation because their level is not there yet, they will think that the purpose of meditation is to become a magician of hallucinations. They will not see the real purpose of meditation; they will only see small purposes of meditation. They will only use meditation for small things such as for relaxation purposes. So do not create your own purpose of meditation, let the real purpose of meditation come to you, and when you learn and read the teachings, learn it with an open heart.

We wear a suit and a tie, to look good from the outside, but from the inside we have a lot of accumulated dirt. That is why we do pranayama, meditation and yoga, to cleanse ourselves. Meditation is not for hallucinations and magic power but to cleanse the dirt, which is trapped within us. (Darmayasa)
