"So do not be disheartened when during meditation many thoughts disturb you and you think, This is not meditation. The mind may be actively generating thought, but because the mind is empty, thought is also empty. Since whatever arises is a state of total presence, do not attempt any alteration based on judgment and evaluation, but leave it alone in its natural, authentic, uncontrived state. In that way, thought will certainly be released into its own natural purity."
Shabkar Lama
