Setting apart time for meditation is only for the merest spiritual novices. A (wo)man who is advancing will begin to enjoy the deeper beatitude, whether s/he is at work or not. While her/his hands are in society, s/he keeps her/his head cool in solitude.
Ramana Maharshi
Meditation, just as yoga is a tool. Regular practice gives us the discrimination to watch the rascal ego mind at work. I only had a sporadic meditation discipline yet the energy break-through came one day anyhow. Yes it is true that meditation session sometimes bring amazing spiritual experiences, but so does real life.
Actually, in my experience the best meditation occurs when we interact with folks. Being mindful of our surroundings, and our own reactions, our ego mind is wowed into silence. Meditation is here and now. Enjoy!
