Why do we meditate?
The experience of our natural state of bliss, a deeply contented peace of mind, is something we all want to experience and we often make the mistake of searching for this outside of ourselves. Social conditioning will have you forever on the hunt for this outside of yourself, you're the hound chasing a carrot on a stick - you can never catch it.
Your Primary Purpose
So often we get caught up in the doing of life, the achieving, the getting things done, or the just getting through life. Our mind is attuned to this is the way life is, and we become so busy, so engaged with this that we completely miss the point of the whole thing.
The Pursuit of Happiness
The pursuit of happiness, outside of one's own self, is never ending. The mind, before it begins to be retrained with meditation, is attuned to searching for happiness outside of itself - in experiences, achievements, pleasures, praise, validation.
