Meditation Is Very Important (Part 3 of 4) July 17, 2013, France

Eating is like an addiction also, like smoking. When they are with smoking people, their habit comes back. Sometimes you’re not hungry, you know that. But you see the food and everybody eats, yum, yum, yum. And you also join and it tastes good, too. What I mean is, if you see somebody else do it, you do it also. This is the problem. But thank God that you are very strong in your vegetarian (vegan) principle. So even if you see other people eat meat or you see they sell meat in the market, now because your mind already understood why you should be vegan - you want to spare the pain for the animals, as if it’s yourself. Time is very precious. It’s okay to look at me, talk to me, but it’s better to meditate, okay? I also need. Because just these last two weeks seeing you and driving through the street often, to come here or to go home, I had lost, oh… How much was it? I had lost 200-plus trillions of spiritual merit points. Trillions of zillions. Oh, no, more than that, because I counted so many double zillion, zillion, zillion. But I really…(have) to remind myself that really, meditation is very important, for me also. I have to sit for the world and many other things: for peace, vegan, and disaster, all kinds of things, healing and all that.
