A Vegetarian Idea of Meditation!

I

Ideas are important.

They are ingredients.

What is a good philosophy

if not a recipe for a hearty life?

II

I sit in my favourite armchair.

I feel stillness all around me.

I often wriggle and stretch.

I feel silence all around me.

I often yawn and moan.

I do not sit in my armchair

with the idea of meditating.

I sit with the idea of marinating.

It was never about perfection.

It was always about flavour.

III

Humanity is a block of tofu

chopped into small pieces -

ready for the wok of the world.

I sit in my armchair

as happily as a small piece of tofu

marinating in soya sauce.

The Absolute is soya sauce.

Without it

I am tasteless.
