Meditation is Pure Joy
Once, meditation was a burden, a chore, an additional task in my quest for peace and serenity. Decades later, eventually, I discovered the pure joy of Jhana, liberation, and Nibbana. Reflecting on my journey, I now understand why it took so long and was a struggle.
It was a mistake to apply the same approach that led to my turbulent mind to meditation. It was a lesson learned, a realization that there are entirely different rules for meditation.
