True Bliss

When you attain true bliss and
happiness inside yourself through meditation,
you will feel so overwhelmed with joy that you will not be able to adequately
find words to describe it. No one can do this for you, you have to attain it
yourself in order to understand how it feels.
When you eat a chili, for
example, others may ask you how it tastes, but you can only tell them that it
is spicy. They do not really know what spicy means until they try it for
themselves. Thus, you cannot describe inner happiness to others. You cannot
attain inner peace for others and others cannot attain it for you. This is the
truth of life. You must do it for yourself.

The place for meditation can be at
your home, at a meditation centre, or any place that is quiet and calm: a
porch, park, lake. It should be well ventilated and have just the right
temperature, not too hot or too cold, so that you will not feel uncomfortable.

Finally, for the meditation posture,
you should sit cross-legged with your right foot on your left leg. You can use
a cushion or pillow to make your position more comfortable and help you sit for
a longer period of time. If you cannot sit cross-legged, you can sit on a chair
or sofa or wherever you are comfortable and can sit for a long time. But you
should not feel too relaxed or comfortable because it can cause you to fall
asleep.
