<p>Now, you are reading this post and noticing words and sentences. At this moment perhaps you are not aware of the white space between the two words till I mention. Actually that white space is bigger than my words but you still missed it.</p>
<p>To notice the white space around the word is awareness.</p>
<p>But you are still missing to notice the breathing, and weight of your body and the sounds that are going around you and many many things.</p>
<p>Awareness is so simple that we don’t notice that it is there. It is not an object itself but it is in the background, silently witnessing everything that is going on. Meditation is nothing but a search for this SILENT WITNESS which is real nature of you. You may call it Samadhi, Satori, Enlightenment, The presence, Nirvana or anything. But it is very simple and available to you this moment.</p>
<p>Remember, it is always in THIS moment only, without any exception. That means you can attain to this silent witness THIS moment, never in the future. All techniques of meditation are designed to bring you into this moment. For example Buddha talks about Vipassana. Vipassana means to pay attention to your breathing. You can not breath in the future or in the past, so as soon as you become alert of your breathing, you are present. It takes only a fraction of second.</p>
<p>Meditation is that easy.</p>
<p>Try this now, close your eyes and just shift your attention from noticing the activity of the thoughts to noticing the silent background in which the thoughts are occurring. As you keep observing this silent background, you will realize that you can be aware of it even while the thoughts are coming and going. Thoughts will take you into the future or past but noticing the Gap between two thoughts will instantly bring you into the Present.</p>
<p>As soon as you are Present almost 95% problems will suddenly disappear, because they are not real. It is just a train of thoughts. You are feeding them with constant thinking. This is what the ego is. Ego means to give continuity to problems which does not exists. Ego is a problem factory. This factory can not run without your support.</p>
<p>This awareness or alertness is ever presence and same in all situations. Experience of this alertness is the ending of all psychological turmoil, fear and sorrow.</p>
<p>If you look into the tension itself then you will see that the tension is nothing but thoughts moving speedily in one direction, and that same thoughts are moving in opposite direction to control the speed of this train of thoughts. The more you try to control this speed, more you get tense.</p>
<p>Meditation means just observation. Just observe this chain and become alert and you are out. Constant movement of thoughts create illusions which you may call fear, phobia, anger, jealously, anxiety, insecurity, lust, frustration etc. All these things are just thoughts.</p>
<p>You should learn to look into these &#8216;clouds of thoughts&#8217; for &#8216;white space&#8217;.</p>
<p>Once you find this white space then enlightenment is just a matter of decision that I&#8217;ll never loose myself in illusions, that&#8217;s all.</p>

<p>Hello Friends,<br />
New eBook for you, <strong>&#8220;The 30 Second meditation&#8221;</strong>.<br />

<li>It will save your time which you may waste in trying different techniques.</li>
<li>30 Second meditation is NOT a technique. It is a style to live with alertness. You can effortlessly embed this meditation in your daily life.</li>
<li>It will save your money which you may spend on learning meditation or joining camps. You can invest that money in share market.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t need to follow any guru. If you are alert then YOU DON&#8217;T NEED GURU. You don&#8217;t need to travel the world to find a guru. You can use that money to buy a car.</li>
<li><strong>Meditation is alertness</strong>, when you are alert there is no mind. There is no past or future. In this state there is no suffering.</li>
<li>Enjoy being a Buddha for 30 second.</li>
<li>You can BE in meditation while you are reading the book or driving your car. It is practical and simple.</li>
<li>This book will help you to break your bad habits.</li>
<li>This book is not a belief system. It has no relation with any religion or past tradition.</li>
<li>This book will help you to remain alert and present in daily activities. And that is what meditation is.</li>
<li>This book will help you to get free from all confusion created by contradictory theories and philosophies presented by world teachers, mahatmas and messiahs.</li>
<li>This book is  not to answer your spiritual questions and feed your brain with garbage but to dissolve them, to empty your mind and end your search.</li>
</ul>

<p>Hello friends, I’m not talking here about traditional methods of meditation but I want you to understand what I am telling you very carefully. This is actually a ‘free style meditation’. You don’t have to set aside time and practice it regularly for half an hour but you have to APPLY it in every situation and every activity. It is not a method but a ‘no method’. Whenever you remember you just have to ‘be alert’ and ‘come back in the present moment’. Simply become aware of what is going on in and around you. Not just the breathing but also the weight of your body, the sounds that going around you, the temperature, thoughts and feelings etc. When you are in the middle of activity just get alert, be more conscious. That’s all. There is no principle or method or rules. You don’t have to get free from thoughts but as soon as you are ‘alert’ there is no mind. It is quick an immediate. One can notice that right now.</p>
<p>Just stop reading and become aware and you will realize that you were not alert. When you are walking or driving just become alert, when you are eating or smoking just become alert and aware. Feel more, be more sensitive. If you want to respond a situation you have to BE there.</p>
<p>Gurus in the past written thousands of books and confused you, and put all kind of shit in your brain. Now it is time to snap your face and just come back in this moment and YOU ARE OUT. There is no philosophy or technique. It’s really very simple. Just breathe out consciously and you are out. This is a free style meditation. You can do it anytime, anywhere. Open all senses. While listening to someone also watch his face and notice his expressions at the same time also become aware of your verbal or nonverbal reactions and breathing and be conscious of as many things as you can.</p>
<p>While reading this post you can also become aware of the gap between the two words and the design or color of this page and the screen and icons and the monitor and your breathing and the sounds around you and the weight of your body and sensations and feelings and thoughts etc. Remember this is a ‘free style meditation’. This is learning from moment to moment and responding every moment spontaneously.</p>
<p>The highest technique is to have no technique. Do not respond the situation with a set of rules or principles but spontaneously. Be watchful and your commonsense and your alertness will guide you. This is the key to solve any problem.</p>
<p>In street fighting you have to be present and alert and respond quickly. You know? This is a street fighters meditation. You can not learn it from the world teachers and their holy…books (in India there are world teachers in every village, people call them &#8220;JagadGuru&#8221;, they usually smoke bidi and chew tobacco!) but you can only learn it in the day to day situations. You can detach from any emotion or tension or fear in just a moment, just come back instantly to here and now. Quickly get alert. Be spontaneous and then respond in a very RELAX and ALERT way. The response should be NATURAL and SPONTANEOUS. Getting?</p>
<p>I read thousands of books and studied many masters and their techniques and find most of them very philosophical and theoretical and their methods are not natural and spontaneous and when you practice them for years you only become more idiot and stupid, and in the end there is only frustration. You can keep throwing your past or emotions but it doesn’t work that way. You can be impressed with their excellent philosophy but it is only theory, it doesn’t work on the streets or in the adversity. It is not QUICK. Meditation should help you in every situation otherwise it is just bullshit. You can not throw anger on the pillow in front of a person who bullied you, you can not clinch your teeth and your fist to release your anger. You can not observe your mind and analyze hmmm? You should be able to get relaxed and respond quickly with alertness.</p>
<p>Practice that!</p>
<p>There is no principle and there is no philosophy, only &#8216;alertness in a relaxed way&#8217; and you will know what to do. And there is no compulsion to remain alert to every moment. You can come back anytime as soon as you remember that you are not alert, ok?</p>
<p>Send comments and let me know what you want so that I can be to the point. I don&#8217;t want to waste your time.</p>
<p>Hay guys, One more thing I want you to do. Watch animals, see a cat or a dog, watch them when they are in danger. Watch how quickly they get fully alert and learn from them. Not from the books, not from so called sophisticated and philosophical gurus with their artificial techniques but from the nature and animals, and you will get the knack of meditation. Do not follow the Guru instead watch monkeys! Ok, enjoy learning! You know Cobra style meditation, Monkey style meditation?<br />
Ok, learn from the nature.</p>
<p>Have a nice day.</p>
