“Shuniya |shoo-nee- yuh| means ‘zero’, ‘nothing’, and describes a state of awareness in which the mind is brought to complete stillness, perfect harmony, neutrality, peaceful calm. It is a state of emptiness, where no positive or negative is assigned to things: there is no good or bad, there is no trying, no searching, no desire, no wanting. There is nothing. From the state of ‘shuniya’ things can simply unfold, without you having to ‘try’ or ‘do’ anything. You just create the required empty space and then watch how things happen and unfold.”
