"The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation."
—Milarepa
WAKE-UP CALL: RIGHT EFFORT
Worldly affairs are endless. Responsibilities, obligations, and distractions continuously arise, keeping us engaged in external concerns. But the Buddha and the great masters remind us that if we wait for the "perfect time" to meditate, it will never come. Milarepa’s words serve as a wake-up call—spiritual practice should not be postponed indefinitely.
Right Meditation, the eighth factor of the Noble Eightfold Path, is the practice of cultivating deep focus and unification of mind through meditation. When we engage in meditation regularly, we develop clarity and insight, freeing ourselves from the restless grasp of worldly attachments.
Reflect on your priorities: Are you making space for meditation, or are you waiting for life to slow down? The affairs of the world will continue, but inner peace is cultivated only when we choose to turn inward. Set aside time today—even if just a few minutes—to still the mind, breathe, and experience the present moment. The world will always be there, but the opportunity to awaken is fleeting.
