My guru asked me whether, while meditating,
time is slow to pass or passes quickly without my noticing it. And I realized
that this is the measure of how successful your first level of meditation is.
Some people struggle to sit for those few minutes and some lose track of time.
The latter happens when you actually start
enjoying the meditation, when you become peaceful, not necessarily because all
thoughts stop but because you learn to observe your thoughts dispassionately.
And don’t allow them to affect your inner calm and peace.
People misunderstand the concept of
meditation and think it is going to be a drastic and permanent shift. But it
won’t be though you CAN increase your hours of meditation gradually to times
when you are working, eating, even conversing, by keeping your inner core
unaffected and steady with calmness.
