Grasping and Nonduality

The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence, in its bliss, clarity and, most important of all, complete absence of grasping. The diminishing of your grasping is a sign that you are becoming freer of yourself. And the more you experience this freedom, the clearer the sign that the ego and the hopes and fears that keep it alive are dissolving and the closer you will come to the infinitely generous wisdom of egolessness. When you live in that wisdom home, you'll no longer find a barrier between I and you, this and that, inside and outside; you'll have come, finally, to your true home, the state of nonduality. ~Sogyal Rinpoche
