Meditation for Thursday 11 December 2025
For meditation to take hold and become an important practice in our lives it is vital that we establish a basis of moral conduct. When integrity is ignored and we compromise those virtues we inherently know make us a better person, we cause pain and conflict; to ourselves and to others. In such a state it is impossible for the mind to be settled and focussed on meditation.
When we are living our lives in truth and unselfishness, concentration and wisdom follow.
When we develop a way of living that is virtuous with harmonious relationships we acquire a dependable clarity of purpose.
A foundation of virtue brings us great happiness and freedom, a pre-condition for a concerted practice of regular meditation.
As we meditate, we hold in our heart the understanding that…….
Knowledge is to fall in love with answers.
Wisdom is to fall in love with questions.
Virtue is the path to happiness.
Meditation is for those seeking a new, calmer way of living.
