I had one of those Duh! moments. Superficially I might smile about it, but internally speaking I am still feeling like I am one step away from safety, walking on a tight rope. Thats probably why I am writing this -keep it to the fore, not to trample this beautiful insight or 'thought' with other mundane realizations.
Benefits and motive of meditations is a usual theme, mind trying to justify and be on track.
With meditative detachment and goodness it is easy to win friends, take over and turn around loss making projects, and stupid manuscripts. Its good to learn to mediate when you are young, so that instead of retaining regrets with growing experiences, you actually use this experience, the time you have (you seem to have ample of it when you are young) to refine your fortitude and morality ... and similar stuff. Then
Duh!
Meditation is actually meant for something larger. Look at the monk, letting go, letting go each moment. S/he is using each moment as s/he progresses towards death in not assimilation (of material things, beautiful wife, brilliant kids), but in letting go.
How stupid will it be, to learn meditation and still be bent on accumulation?
