00:00If you really loved the peace you got while sitting in meditation,
00:03why did you then open your eyes and get up?
00:04No, because I have my worldly responsibilities to take care of.
00:08Then you love your worldly responsibilities more than you love meditation.
00:12Are you even a man then?
00:13You are a social slave.
00:14No, but you cannot meditate all the time.
00:16A fellow has a shop to run.
00:17Then you are not a meditator, you are a shopkeeper.
00:19And your entire meditation is devoted to your shop.
00:22You want to meditate just so that you can run your shop more smoothly.
00:25Meditation is just a servant to your shop.
00:28And your shop is such that running your shop gives you a lot of tension.
00:32So you meditate so that that tension can be somehow cleared away
00:35and you can again return to that shop just to earn more tension.
