Why can we not meditate ? When a person is doing a bad deed, he is totally mindful. For there is the fear of society, law of being caught. His mind and body are in total sink and focused in the act . When a person sits to meditate his mind is somewhere else. Even when he desires to meditate, he fails because there is no fear to keep him together. We beings are consciously aware of the power time. It can end our life any time, anywhere, mostly without notice. This awareness can stop us from doing wrong deeds. Eastern Masters believed that payment of deeds done must be payed in this life or if unfinished they are carried on to another life. Choice is ours ! By fixing this life we stand to start the next better without carry overs !
