I call meditation the greatest art

Love.

The new world revealed in meditation
is not something added from the outside.
It has always been there – within,
is in being itself.
It is being itself.

One may know it or not, but it is there –
as a seed of course, as a potentiality.
One has to make it actual, that is all.

That is why when it is revealed,
when it flowers,
one laughs uproariously
because it has always been there and one never knew it.

To work towards meditation is just like sculpturing,
because just as the sculptor chisels out a figure
deeply buried in a mass of inert matter,
so the meditator transforms his own inert potentialities
into living, dynamic and conscious creations.

Of course, here
the creator and the creation and the means of creation
are not different but one
because the meditator himself is all.

And that is why I call meditation the greatest art.
