I teach contentment. And the basic principle of contentment is to drop your ego. Don`t think for a single moment, "To be or not to be. " Just not to be is the rule. What have you gained by trying to be? Just for a change try not to be, and you will be amazed. The moment you are not, there is contentment, there is silence, there is beauty, there is bliss. Meditation is only a methodology to make you aware that your only disease is your ego, and your only health is egolessness.
