Meditation for Thursday 16 October 2025
Meditation is an effective practice that can assist us to be real, to be authentic, to be ourselves. When you meet a person who has an inner authentic presence, you find they have an overwhelming genuineness and honesty. This is a goal of meditation and a gift of meditation.
In Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Polonius, the wise elder, advises his son Laertes:-
“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man”
It is a wondrous feeling to be authentic, to be true to oneself, to be real
As we meditate tonight, we are participating in an age-old practice that assists us to be grounded and real, a practice that helps us be authentic and true.
