After sitting motionlessly, close your eyes. Our mind is analogous to a cup of muddy water. The longer you keep a cup of muddy water still, the more the mud settles down and the water will be seen clearly. Similarly, if you keep quiet without moving your body, focusing your entire undivided attention on the subject of your meditation, your mind settles down and begins to experience the bliss of meditation.
In the process of meditation, one must learn to still both the body and the mind to achieve clarity. The analogy of a cup filled with muddy water illustrates this concept well. When you allow the cup to remain undisturbed, the sediment gradually settles, and the water becomes clear. This represents how, in meditation, calmness leads to a clearer state of mind.
By focusing entirely on the meditation subject and maintaining stillness, the mind begins to quiet and settle, revealing deeper insights and a sense of tranquility. Embracing this practice fosters an environment where one can experience the true essence of meditation, leading to blissful states of awareness.
