The only cure is meditation. The jiva is simply caught in a jam, like the fly that is caught in a honey jar. The minute you think that you are the doer, you lose out. By Georg Feurestein Meditation is central to the spiritual endeavor in many schools of Hinduism, notably the Yoga tradition. Meditation is the foremost austerity.
Meditation is the greatest purity.
Therefore be fond of meditation. This exhortation expresses a sentiment that is widespread in the sacred literature of Hinduism. I have chosen for this paper a hermeneutical description of the act of imagining as Ignatius de Loyola used it in the making of his Spiritual Exercises . The reason for this choice is the radical need of presenting how images are made, rather than borrowed in our Christian Tradition. It is my contention that this tradition of making images in meditation is present wherever meditation is practiced.
