Appreciate, Don’t Criticize

It is very important at this point to be careful not to talk in superlative terms about our own method of meditation and underrate others. What we like about our method is a matter of our individual taste and what others like about their meditation is theirs. To denigrate a different method is a sure sign of vanity. What we need to do is to verify the authenticity of our own progress in meditation, to see whether it is real or imaginary.

No meditation is either superior or inferior to any other meditation in absolute terms. What suits us best may not suit another person at all and vice versa. We have to do whatever is best suited to us and let others make their own choice. We need to learn to respect other techniques, too. There is no point in criticizing other methods of meditation, because such criticism does more harm to us than the method or the person whom we criticize. Why waste our precious time and energy in letting our mind get more agitated and restless?

It is interesting that a true meditator can identify and appreciate another meditator, even though he may be following an entirely different method of meditation. This happens just like a true artist really understands and appreciates the artwork of another artist.

Meditation is the most precious of the arts. It helps us realize the true meaning of the art of living. The art of meditation is practised on the inner canvas of individual awareness, which gradually merges with the universal awareness. Only a person who is grown in awareness through meditation can really see and appreciate what is drawn on the canvases of individual and universal awareness. Thus, they know the real meaning of being happy with oneself and being happy within oneself. Only a truly happy person develops a true taste for meditation.
