Dear Gurudev, we are made to meditate every day in school, but I don’t feel like doing it. Can you please motivate me?
Remember one thing, meditation helps you to be more happy and enthusiastic. Have you seen babies? Sometimes they don’t want to eat food? If they don’t eat, won’t they become weak? Then the mother forces the baby to eat food. Similarly, children don’t want to brush their teeth, but the mother forces them to brush their teeth. This is to ensure that they have good teeth. So that is dental hygiene. Similarly, meditation is mental hygiene!
What happens when you meditate? You become sharper, happier, and intuitive. Don’t you want to have intuition? Don’t you want the right thought to come to you at the right time? Never mind if you are getting bored, later on you will find it addictive. You will feel like you have to meditate; unless you meditate, you don’t feel that energy, that high! Later on, you will start enjoying it very much!
