Nobody can bring awareness to your life but you.
Meditation is not a self-help program -- a way to better
ourselves so we can get what we want. Nor is it a way to relax
before jumping back into busyness. It's not something to do once in
awhile, either, whenever you happen to feel like it.
Instead, meditation is a practice that saturates your life and
in time can be brought into every activity. It is the
transformation of mind from bondage to freedom.
In practicing meditation, we go nowhere other than right here
where we now stand, where we now sit, where we now live and
breathe. In meditation we return to where we already are -- this
shifting, changing ever-present now.
If you wish to take up meditation, it must be now or
never.
~ Steve Hagen, "Meditation Now or Never"
