In Zen tradition every thing has been used to teach meditation. There is some activity which comes naturally to us like painting, dancing, singing, fighting, cooking etc. through any activity of life one can learn the knack to meditate and once we learns the knack to meditate in one activity of life then it\u2019s easier to make meditation part of life.<\/p>\n

But we need to have perseverance and patience for it. How much time it will take to learn meditation, no one can tell it.<\/p>\n

One day one martial art student went to a master and asked him earnestly \u201cI want to learn martial art system\u201d. How much time it will take me to master it? Master looked at the boy and said \u201cten years\u201d. But the boy did not wanted to wait for so long. So impatiently he answered \u201cI want to master the martial art faster than that. I will work very hard. Tell me if I work harder then how much time it will take me to master martial arts\u201d. Master again looked at the boy and replied \u201ctwenty five years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meditation has nothing do with time. Meditation means coming out from the grip of mind. With mind time exists, ambition exists. In meditation only bliss exists. Meditation is death of mind.<\/p>\n
