Words of Wisdom

Words of Wisdom Uma

Buddha says: “Meditation brings two things. It brings wisdom. It brings freedom. These two flowers grow out of meditation. When you become silent, utterly silent, beyond the mind, two flowers bloom in you. One is of wisdom: Where you know what is and what is not. And the other is of freedom: You know now there are no more limitations on you. Either of time or of space. You become liberated. Meditation is the key to liberation, to freedom, to wisdom.� These are the profound words of Buddha on meditation. Meditation is simply going deep into one`s own being. It is only when the process of thinking ceases does one know who one is. Essentially, it is an effort to create a state of no-mind. In a non-thinking state of consciousness, the self evident truth arises within as light, eternity and timelessness. It is in this state of consciousness that freedom and wisdom blossoms, according to Buddha. Under such circumstances, peace is born within and without.
