    Mind is capable of creating all kinds of
    illusions, hallucinations. But mind is not
    capable of creating the illusion of
    meditation, for the simple reason that
    meditation is an absence of mind.

    All other illusions and hallucinations need
    mind to be present; they are mind
    projections.

    Only meditation is beyond the capacity of
    mind. Because it is beyond the mind, mind
    has no experience of meditation; it cannot
    delude you. If you are feeling meditative,
    silent, thoughtless, innocent, a pure space,
    you can trust that you have entered the
    temple of meditation.

    Mind is certainly cunning, but there is a limit
    to that cunningness, and mind finds that
    limit in meditation. Meditation actually is the
    death of the mind; the mind cannot manage
    it...
