Meditation is not enough

[kagaria]

It's just me seeking immediate pleasure even in the field of spirituality, don't care ? Shunyamurti spoke about this too

@Leo Gura I wonder why I don't fully get it even though I always try to understand people's wisdom?

Because you can't really force understanding, no matter how hard you try. But trying to understand is a very good place to be in  Ultimately, when the theoretical foundation meets direct experience, understanding ripens. Read a lot, contemplate a lot (journal!), but most importantly inquire into direct experience and let yourself dissolve completely when it is time to do so. Nothing more you can do, don't worry about it

Just [mindfulness] + [allowing the self sense to go quiet] is not enough. You must actively look at the self and expose it for what it is. Insight, Inquiry, Samatha, Metta, and enjoyment serve as a synergistic base.
