Meditation

Tomás de Mello Breyner

‘If you think you know this Supreme Spirit, then you really don’t, because what you know is only your mind. So you must keep meditating. If we believe we know, we don’t. If we believe we don’t know, we probably do. It’s a mistake to think that we know what this Supreme Spirit is from intellectual understanding; it is beyond rational knowledge. When we have reached a deep state of meditation, we overcome the thoughts that tell us that we are a body that is born and will die, and are able to connect ourselves to the Supreme Spirit that goes beyond death. If we find that higher power, we find the ultimate truth, but if not we live in darkness and fear.’
