"In the beginning is the "witnessing", uninvolved observer of your self. Continuity, perseverance and patience lead to the state of "no-mind". Techniques are only preparation for meditation. Meditation itself is free of any method. Meditation is best to practice for its own sake, without any intention, just for the sake of it. It is more a state of admitting and enjoying than of wanting. The seed of meditation is fully developed in every human being. Whether it rises is a matter for each individual. You have to see yourself as a gardener. You can only nurture and nourish the seed, but do not force it to rise or you will destroy it."
