Why should I meditate?

​“Why should I meditate? Isn’t it a waste of time? I can finish off one or two chores using that time…“ Does this thought feel familiar? Let me try to put it as briefly as I can… There is no more beautiful experience than knowing your own self. The only way to be selfless is to connect with your true self. Everything else will make you selfish in some way or the other. The real nature (Sattva) of your true self is always divine, is to be in service to the purpose of your birth. It may take a lifetime for some of us to feel that connection, or a few years or if you are really lucky enough, may be months of practice... How fascinating would it be to finally wake up one day and say “hello” to your true, beautiful, divine self?!
