Each single word has to be meditated upon – not concentrated on, mind you, but meditated upon; listened to, looked into, not contemplated, not thought about. These things are higher than thought, bigger than thought. Thought is silly in these realms.

First he says:

…it is because of his non-attainmentness…

Meditation cannot be attained, because meditation cannot have a motive. When you attain something you attain through a motive. When you attain something you always have to work for the future and plan for the future. You cannot attain anything right now – except meditation. Let me repeat it: You cannot attain anything right now, except meditation. Why? If you want money you cannot attain it right now, you will have to work hard for it; legally, illegally – but you will have to work for it.

There are slow ways, you may become a businessman; and there are faster ways, you may become a politician – but you will have to do something. Slow or fast, but time will be needed. Time is a must. Without time you cannot attain money. If there is no time, how can you attain in this very moment? Even if you want to rob the neighbor, if you want to pick the pocket of the person who is sitting by your side, even that will take time. Time is a must. If you want to become famous, time will be needed. If you want to become politically powerful, time will be needed.

Only meditation can be attained right now, this very moment, instantaneously. Why? – because it is your nature. Why? – because it is already there. You have not claimed it, that’s right; but it remains there, unclaimed. You can claim it right now. Not even a single moment has to be lost.

…it is because of his non-attainmentness…

And nirvana is nothing but meditation come to a full circle. God is nothing but the bud of meditation become a flower.
