Meditation is seeing What 'is'.
To see 'is' involves seeing 'is not'. Seeing 'is' and 'is-not' is the vision of the whole. Seeing is when the blind is desire-free. Desire is always for the other.
The other is not-seeing.
And not-seeing is agitation.
Not-seeing is seeing what one projects. What one projects is different from what 'is'. Projection is an act of the desiring mind, and non-projection is a state of non-desire. A non-projecting mind is ever in meditation. It alone sees. Others see not.
There seem to be two things -'is' and 'is-not'. 'Is-not' is never away from and adds nothing to 'is'. Hence there is only 'is'. Meditation is seeing 'is'.
