“It is only through meditation that life becomes meaningful. Without meditation life is meaningless. One only vegetates, but one does not really live. One hopes to live, but one goes on postponing life for tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes.
You can see the meaninglessness in the face of people. People are trying to create some meaning in their life. You know that this meaning is your own creation, and deep down you remain empty and hollow.
That is why people keep themselves busy and occupied with every kind of activity. They are afraid that if they are not constantly
occupied they have to face their own emptiness and meaninglessness.
And that is frightening, so they never look within themselves. The whole day they are occupied.
Meditation means facing your own inner emptiness. It hurts in the beginning, but you will realize that it is just a curtain. The darkness is only the surface, and at the center of it is light. And once you have experienced your own inner light, your own being, your own eternity, the meaninglessness disappears.”
