I just finished reading Ram Dass' Be Here Now and although I find his words of wisdom helpful, my daily routine is now filled with guilt.

When I play a video game I feel like I should be meditating. When I eat the pork dinner my mother makes me it taste almost intolerable. When I am enjoying a hot shower I remember the enjoyment will only reinforce my egos desires. I feel guilty sleeping on my new mattress and not on my floor.

Am I not strong enough to pursue the lifestyle of a Yogi? It's just so hard. Even my meditation which has previously been rewarding is filled with this unsettling feeling, like I am impure.

Does anyone trek down the Yogic path? Has your journey been fruitful or equally dismal?

Meditation is your true nature, it is going on now with no effort on your part, while eating be in meditation, while sleeping be in meditation, while playing ps3 be in meditation

Don't forsake your natural joyfull effortlessness by thinking you have to do something to fully be yourself! You are Self, Be That! In all situations BE how hard is that? Does the Self feel guilt about being itself?

True meditation is Unbroken

If they did trek down the path fully they would not be posting here and would instead be meditating over their life.

Beans give me really bad gas and tofu gets boring so I eat some fish once in a while.
