"Meditation is not a solution to any problem, it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of the old skin."
Meditation is all-inclusive. The car passes… the mind in meditation is fully aware of the horn. The birds start singing… the mind is fully aware of their singing. There is no question of distraction; nothing distracts. Everything — the mind is no longer there — is simply watched. You are only aware that there is a horn, a car is passing by — but it is not a distraction.
