Any thing that comes out of mind can never lead us towards meditation. Mind can never be the tool to get out of mind. But at the same time mind will give logical reasons to us saying that it is helping us in every possible way to go deep in meditation. E.g. Mind can take the responsibility of reading this article so that you can go deep in meditation. But in reality this is another trick of mind. Secondly\u00a0if we look deeper, then going deep in meditation is not an achievement. Meditation is itself a device which we are using to seek enlightenment or get rid of Mind. But Mind is asking this question \u201ctips for going deep in to meditation\u201d. So here Mind is making meditation another goal. Some people want to achieve in materialistic world and some in spiritual world but difference is not much. In both the areas mind is playing its game. So for going deep in to meditation one should be aware of mind games. If one understand Mind and how it deceives us then journey becomes very easier. I don\u2019t have any rivalry with the mind because in reality there is no such thing as mind and if I start fighting with mind then indirectly I will be giving power to mind. Mind is like a dream which does not have any existence but as long as I give importance to it, it has a life.\" class=\"motopress-image-obj-basic mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span6  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<p>Only the meditator is not an escapist &#8212; everybody else is. Meditation means getting out of desire, getting out of thoughts, getting out of mind. Meditation means relaxing in the moment, in the present. Meditation is the only thing in the world which is not escapist, although it is thought to be the most escapist thing. People who condemn meditation always condemn it with the argument that it is escape, escaping from life. They are simply talking nonsense; they don&#8217;t understand what they are saying. Meditation is not escaping from life: it is escaping into life. Mind is escaping from life, desire is escaping from life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[86,125,170,165,68],"tags":[40,19,10,2,266],"class_list":["post-4154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","category-meditation","category-mind","category-osho","category-quotes","tag-life","tag-meditation","tag-mind","tag-osho","tag-quotes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Only the meditator is not an escapist ... everybody else is - Guru Quote<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/guruquote.net\/index.php\/2018\/03\/13\/meditator-not-escapist-everybody-else\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Only the meditator is not an escapist ... everybody else is - Guru Quote\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/guruquote.net\/index.php\/2018\/03\/13\/meditator-not-escapist-everybody-else\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Guru Quote\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-13T17:12:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-03-13T17:15:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/guruquote.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MeditationQuotes2.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"management\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"management\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/guruquote.net\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/03\\\/13\\\/meditator-not-escapist-everybody-else\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/guruquote.net\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/03\\\/13\\\/meditator-not-escapist-everybody-else\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"management\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/guruquote.net\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/3e70ce8ef9b0d8c7fb9a0123b5a55df6\"},\"headline\":\"Only the meditator is not an escapist &#8230;
