Question:
What Does Meditation Do For Your Mind?
I know that meditation can calm you down, but does it have any good long term effects?
Answers:
In meditation there are may be momentary glimpses of seeing that concentration is feasible, but it can't be sustained. It constantly slips again and the mind goes right back to where it came from. In order to counteract that, one has to have determination to make one's life a meditative one; it doesn't mean one has to meditate from morning to night. I don't know anyone who does.
