Disciple asked, "Gurudev! During the whole day, I meditate for half an hour. Sometimes I sit in meditation for an hour. The remaining 23 hours are devoted to other works. How can one hour of meditation influence the remaining 23 hours? How do we assess their respective merits? Which action is endowed with greater power? What commands greater force? Twenty-three hours or one hour?
One sits in meditation for an hour, with one's attention concentrated, but remains fickle-minded for 23 hours. How one will succeed in his aim?"
The Guru replied, "Let not your meditation be bound to time. Meditation is of two kinds - one time-bound, the other free, unbound, eternal.
One should be in meditation all the time. To sit in meditation for half an hour or for an hour, is a special exercise. You must learn to meditate at all hours."
