Meditation is not an escape
Meditation is not an escape
If we enter into the life of meditation in order to escape from the world and forget our sufferings, then we are doing it for the wrong reason. If we enter into the spiritual life because of outer frustration or dissatisfaction, then we may not remain in the spiritual life. Today I have failed to satisfy my desires; so I am dissatisfied with the world. But tomorrow I will say, "Let me try again. Perhaps this time I will get satisfaction. But eventually we will feel that the desire-life will never satisfy us; we will feel the need to enter into the inner life. This is aspiration.
