In this conversation, Rupert discusses meditation on the pathless path and how, ultimately, in meditation, all effort has to come to an end.

He says you can only get to something that you are not already. If I were to ask you to stand up and take a step towards yourself, how would you do that? Your own body is the only thing you can't take a step towards. Anything you take a step towards is not yourself. The slightest effort you make in meditation would be an effort towards something other than yourself. Any effort you make would take you away from yourself.

That's why I think that all meditations ultimately have to be dropped. Because we cannot make an effort to be what we already are. It's a matter of recognition or understanding, not a matter of efforting or practising. It's about being, not doing. Remember, Ashtavakra — ‘Happiness belongs to that supremely lazy person for whom even blinking is too much trouble.’ That's us. That's our path.
