What are people searching for in life? God. In the christian scriptures, it says ‘Be still and know you are God.’ What is this? You are peace, compassion, truth, Love, freedom. Real love.
It is remarkable that in such countries people do not feel very free. The second kind of freedom, freedom from desires, is celebrated only in some religious communities. It celebrates contentment, peace that is free from desires.
My first meditation teacher told me that there is no such thing as a bad meditation. He was right. During the difficult meditations you build up your strength, which creates meditation for peace.
