Meditation Problems

[Ross]

Hey people,

I have done meditation for 3 months straight (for an 1 hour) each day and from what I can see, I really do not see the benefits or much change at all. I have been doing strong determination sitting (not enlightment work) every time. 

Am I doing something wrong? Leo said don't expect change in a month but I have been doing this for 3 months and I still see no change! Some advice would be great, thanks!

This question arises for so many reasons. One, you are not really working. You are just deceiving yourself. You are playing tricks with yourself. You are less concerned with what you are doing and more concerned with what is happening. If you are really doing it, you can leave the result to existence.

Meditation is not just a certain thing which you do for one hour and forget. Really, the whole of life has to be meditative. Only then will you begin to feel things. And when I say that the whole life is to be meditative, I do not mean to go and close your eyes for twenty-four hours and sit and meditate – no! Wherever you are you can be sensitive and that sensitivity will pay. Then there will be no need to ask, 'Am I progressing or not?' Only with this capacity of being aware of all things happening around you will you develop the capacity to feel what is happening within.
