    is it that easy sitting quiet?!!? im not understanding that state of sitting quietly….y does it bore when we dont do anything….how to drop/trancend doin to non doing??net ,music,chatting,habits hobbies,tv,all keeps us engaged somehow….then whats the meaning n solution ?

    We always find escape from ourself through drinking, smoking, net, chatting, music, etc. OK, there is no problem when we do all these things without trying to escape from ourself. Man is afraid of being lonely. It is very easy to become silent or peaceful but man is afraid because it (silence) seems like death. We dont want to look inside the mind, mind is madness and it need great courage to look our MADNESS IN ACTION. We build an image of ourself, and we deal in the real world through that image but nobody wants to look WHAT IS BEHIND THAT IMAGE? Not even so called intelligent or so called confident people dare to look what is inside. This is the reson of running outside. To sit silently and watch the mind as it is is very fringhtening experinnce for many people. But if you really want to find out “who you are?” then seating silently for hours or even days become a very interesting learning process. Then to sit silently and watch every mask you ware and go beyond the mind and come face to face of REAL YOU is most intersting experience.

    but its all about how to sit silently?just sitting doing nothing is that sitting silently??doing nothing is just doing something or doing it for something…i mean to say doing nothing is itself soing something…then what to do?how to be naturally doin nothing…i just want to know how can we be there where ur pointing or say that something ultimate,by not trying,(means naturally,if we attain that something by our hard work then how can it be greater than achiever?),then what is true,to achieve it ,or wait for it,pray for it,how to be SILENT?

    Dr. Manoj,
    A student once asked his teacher, “Master, what is enlightment?”
    The master replied, “When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep.”
    Anyway,
    You ask: how to sit silently?
    Just sit silently.
    You ask: who am i? n whos this asking n to whom???????
    Oh, I really don’t know!
    You said: clear my doubts or atlest CLEAR this so called ME,MYSELF…
    …let go…let go…let go…

  • Dr.manoj

    thoughts will come and go, its not the problem, but if you keep watching then slowly you get detached from the turbulence of the mind and automatically the mind becomes silent.
    for example if you are feeling angree then watch this feeling of anger, become more aware and you will find that as you get more and more aware anger start disappearing.
    you will never get answer from outsde but in meditation all your problems will get dissolved. you said that just sitting doesnt make us silent i have tried it..ok, watch your mind in different situations, always come back to present moment and be aware how your mind always drift into past or future. come back to this moment whenever you remember.

    “Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself”………………..Mr. MG it’s true but u don’t know the efforts of that seed which he taking in dark night by dumping himself in mud…..so please don’t motivate people to sit idle rather u encourage them to do something for life n you also do ….OK.

    Dear Anonymous, do you think its very sane and meditative to send comment like this? Why are you getting so much hurt about this website? Now please sit quitely, doing nothing and look inside and ask yourself..why …um? why you are behaving like this? Use this moment for meditation, I also send reply to your another comment on “Anger and melodrama”. Perhaps you are very much suppressed but one thing is sure that you don’t know anything about meditation.
    Meditation is sitting silently and watching the mind. Thats all!
    And do it. Its worth!
    And it’s very difficult too. Just try it for one minute.
    You are not alert otherwise you can not send comments like this.
    You said encourage people to do something. They are already doing many things, hm? sending anonymous comments and all..
    Anyway NOW if you are feeling angree then watch this anger, see how difficult it is.
    This watching is meditation.
    Now whenever you feel doing like this just become alert.
    You know I am telling only one thing on this website and that is “just watch your mind” thats all!
    And I will say only one thing on this website
    WATCH!
    Become aware! Become more alert!
    If you become more alert, more watchful then automatically there is right action.
    There is no need to teach people “do this or do that” let them deside what is good for them. And they will chose what is right for them if they are little bit aware and alert about whats going on in the mind or how the mind work.
    You are also telling “MG u don’t know the efforts of that seed which he taking in dark night by dumping himself in mud”…as if you know it!
    You see nature is very effortless.
    Seed do not make effort to grow,grass doesn’t try to grow, it just grow,fish don’t try to swim, they just swim, it is there intrinsic nature. Flowers just bloom, they don’t try. Being with nature, flowing effortless, letting go is what meditation is!

    Dr.Manoj, very good,
    Nobody can help in this matter not even me. I’m having so many friends around me but I can not help or convince them to meditate. Only those who deeply want to know about something beyond mind can help themselves. Only your desire to know the truth is your guru and it will be always there to guide you.
    More you are watchful more there is clarity and automatically your mind will get quite
    Friedrich Nietzsche says,
    One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star!
