To make an effort

To make an effort,
even to meditate,
you must have a preconceived idea
or object in your mind.
I tell you: ‘Take away the object and see what remains’.

To do this you have to stay as you are.
You are already This.
You don’t need to do anything to reach it
or attain it.

– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
