Is meditation a practice?

 Is meditation a practice?

To come upon this: If there is anything sacred which thought has not invented, meditation is necessary. India, unfortunately, has brought this word into this western world recently. The Christian world had its own contemplative order, contemplative state of mind. But the gurus and other shave brought this idea of meditation. And these people have invented or brought their old tradition from Tibet, from Zen in Japan, from Burma, from India, the mischief began in India first: that meditation means you must practice something, practice a method, practice to be silent, practice to be aware, practice the moment,which is the present and so on, so on – practice. When you are practiecng something,you are being repetitive. If you are playing the pianoand you are practicing, you may be practicing the wrong note. But here you think it is necessary to practice day after day, take a vow, being a monk, you know the whole business of it– there is no time to go into that. So we practise. The more you practise the more your brain will become dull, obviously. Whether you are practising various systems of meditation, which means your brain is becoming more and more mechanical, it is never free.
