Poem:

One hour of meditation is for children Meditation is not a life enhancement hack Rather, Life is regulated to enhance Meditation. Thus Life is Meditation enhanced with ethical behavior. To sit in the Lotus position is permanent You will spend most of your time there. Your priorities arrive in chronological order: First is Meditation, then comes scripture, next is exercise, then comes cleaning, next is cooking with a break for music. In the afternoon you go out for tea. After a disturbance you return to the position. Evening meditation is an excellent health measure. An evening walk is best if you must talk. Personal policy does make a difference. You should also seek the absolute knowledge that is on the inside as books are also kid stuff. Those who think meditation is just a life enhancement tool are bourgeoise and may need a head shrinker. DS Poem June 28, 2018
