Meditation of the Four Great Elements


Before meditation, think about your generosity such as alms giving, giving foods accommodation to poor people, escape animals from killing, helping other people. This will help you to achieve some concentration level before meditating.
Then meditate like this,
1. Outside world, Excrement is element of matter, not mine. Hair is a element of matter, not mine.
like above think fir, nails, tooth, skin, flesh, nerves, bones, bone marrow, kidney, hart, liver, diaphragm, intestines, omit, excrement is not mine while comparing external excrement as above.
2. Outside world, urine is element of water, not mine. blood is a element of water, not mine.
like above think bile, phlegm, mucus, sweat, tears is not mine while comparing external excrement as above.
3. Outside world, such as a was basket generate heat. Such temperature is element of heat, not mine. Temperature of body is a element of heat, not mine.
We feel the bad smell through wind.
4. Outside world, wind is element of gas, not mine. Inhale exhale breath is a element of gas, not mine.
Why do we compare ugly outside elements with out body elements? Because consciousness is clinging on our body for many neon's. In order to escape the consciousness from body we use ugly element like urine excrement.
After meditation like above, having release the consciousness from hateful body you will reach a peaceful and pleasurable mental state which never experienced before. That state called GHANA level concentration. After liberating the mind from the body Consciousness and Space remains. It is not permanent too.
Then think about like this,
I have taken beauty in the ugly, there is a pleasure in suffering, things that are no self are mine earlier. I have done bad deed and suffered for long time in SANSARA to that misunderstanding and bad deeds. Now i eliminate such wrong understanding and bad deeds like lying.
Now think, the concentration and everything is impermanent, because it is made by giving DHAMMA to mind. Nibbana is the extinction of all the cravings. Nibbana is permanent, because it does not made of anything.
Spread Metta to all beings, not self.
You will reach infinite state of Metta and understand the great enlightenment.
