In one my of the 10 day vipassana retreats, I told my guru that I think I am not meditating. He asked me why? n I said I am thinking too much. He told me that the problem i was facing was that I was judging the process. The mind had the tendency to label experiences n call it right or wrong. But if we can learn to keep this part of us aside and dive into the activity without doubt then I think it would give us the opportunity to explore the depths of our awareness and spread this state of mind into every aspect of our lives. I should say I really started meditating when I stopped bothering about what it exactly is and why I was doing it. I havent read that book yet. I put it my wish list. Thanks :)
