A self-sufficient meditator is a person who lives a life of
mindfulness moment to moment, though sometimes he or she may need to
meditate sitting watching the breath, as they do in Vipassana or
Anapansatiyoga. But essentially, meditation means living life,
everyday life with awareness in the present. Becoming aware of your
each movement as you wake up, drinking a cup of chai or coffee,
driving to work, and such routine tasks with undivided attention.
This becomes a life-style of live-in-the-moment, accepting and
enjoying the moment, and not a mechanical habit. It functions as an
antidote to the fast-paced tech world we are forced to live in. You
create your own path of mindfulness as you encounter life moment to
moment, and enjoy it to the fullest.
Osho says: “You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the
path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just
like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You
cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
