Our life is the laboratory in which we practice
what we learn during Meditation. Profound realizations happen in meditation.
But even more profound realizations revelations
can occur when we really examine our inner self in the midst of
day-to-day activities. That is when we come face to face with our true motives,
and the armor of pretense we wear to survive in the world.
In
Meditation, our mind tries to divert our attention by indulging in interesting
distractions. We just notice the distraction and return our focus to our
breath. We have to use the same technique in our day-to-day life as well, which
is full of all kinds of distractions. We must just notice the distractions and
get back to the job at hand.
