Meditation Minutes: Ecstasy
Ecstasy is our very nature.
Not to be ecstatic
is simply unnecessary.
To be ecstatic
is natural,
spontaneous,
it needs no effort to be ecstatic.
It needs great effort
to be miserable.
That's why you look so tired,
because misery
is really hard work!
To maintain it
is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature.
You are going upstream; that's what misery is.
And what is bliss?
Going with the river --
so much so
that the distinction between you and the river simply is lost.
You are the river,
how can it be difficult
to go with the river?
No swimming is needed, you simply float with the river
and the river takes you to the ocean.
The river is already going to the ocean.
Life is a river. Don't push it and you will not be miserable.
