> Feel Your Body as Empty
> Suppose your passive form to be an empty room with walls of
skin…but inside, everything empty. This is one of the most
beautiful techniques. Just sit in a meditative posture, relaxed, alone,
your backbone straight and the whole body relaxed ? as if the whole body
is hanging on the backbone. Then close your eyes. For a few moments go
on feeling relaxed, more relaxed, becoming calmer and calmer and calmer.
> Do this for a few moments, just to be in tune. And then suddenly start
feeling your body is just walls of skin and there is nothing inside,
there is no one inside, the house is vacant. Sometimes you will feel
thoughts passing, clouds of thoughts moving, but don't think that they
belong to you.. You are not. Just think that they are roaming in a
vacant sky ? they don't belong to anyone, they don't have any roots.
> Really this is the case: thoughts are just like clouds moving in the
sky. They don't have any roots and they don't belong to the sky, they
simply roam in the sky. They come and they go and the sky remains
untouched, uninfluenced.
> Feel that your body is just walls of skin and there is no one inside.
Thoughts will still continue ? because of old habit, old momentum, old
cooperation, thoughts will go on coming. But just think that they are
rootless clouds moving in space ? they don't belong to you, they don't
belong to anybody else. There is no one to whom they can belong ? you
are empty. It will be difficult, but because of the old habits, nothing
else. Your mind would like to catch some thought, be identified with it,
move with it, enjoy it, indulge in it.
> Resist!
> Just say there is no one to indulge, there is no one to fight, there
is no one to do anything with this thought.Within a few days, a few
weeks, thoughts will slow down, they will become less and less. The
clouds will start disappearing, or, even if they come, there will be
great gaps of cloudless sky when there will be no thought.
> One thought will pass. Then another will not come for a period. Then
another will come and then there will again be an interval. In those
intervals you will know for the first time what emptiness is. And the
very glimpse of it will fill you with such deep bliss you cannot
imagine.
> Think of Nothing
> Thinking, you are separated from existence. Thinking is not a
relation, it is not a bridge, it is not a communication ? it is a
barrier. Non-thinking you are related, bridged; you are in communion.
When you are talking to someone, you are not related. The very talk
becomes a barrier. The more you talk, the further away you move.. If you
are with someone in silence, you are related. If the silence is really
deep and there are no thoughts in your mind and both the minds are
totally silent, you are one.
> Whenever you are silent with someone, you are one.
> When you are silent with existence, you are one with it.
> This technique says be silent with existence and then you will know
what God is. There is only one dialogue with existence and that is in
silence. If you talk with existence, you miss. Then you are enveloped in
your own thoughts.
> Try this as an experiment. Try it with anything  even with a rock.
Be silent with it  take it in your hand and be silent  and there
will be a communion. You will move deep into the rock and the rock will
move deep into you.
> Your secrets will be revealed to the rock and the rock will reveal its
secrets to you. But you cannot use language with it. The rock doesn't
know any language.Confined in thoughts you will be in misery.
Unconfined, beyond thoughts  alert, conscious, aware, but unclouded
by thoughts  you will be joy, you will be bliss.
