If You're Too Busy to Meditate, Read This
The misconception about meditation is that it requires one to give up everything and sit silently.  This is not true in its entirety as it depends on how one interprets the word "meditation".The meditation does not necessarily require you to give up one thing for the sake of another.  The goal of the meditation is to "be in awareness" and you can achieve this same goal by being alert and aware with any activity your find yourself doing at any given moment.  For example...You are washing dishes but you are not really washing dishes because your mind is wandering with thoughts on what you need to do tonight at the place you need to visit.  By the time your dishes are done, you have already planned for your future as your mind kept you busy with the thoughts of the future while you forgot what you were doing in the present (which is, washing dishes, which you really didn't).The meditation is to be-in-present with whatever activity you do and love to do.  If you had washed your dishes with full alertness and awareness, you would have achieved the same goal of meditation.Let's go even further with another example.You love to play music as your passion (or dance, or paint, or fill in the blank activity here) but you don't get enough opportunity in the day to do what you love to do more with passion.  When you dance or sing or play music or run or exercise, you get the opportunity during that activity to forget yourself in the act (the subject merges into the object) and you become one with the reality, or you transcend that favorite activity by merging your self into it.  That moment of transcendence is meditation, and you should find more opportunities to be in that meditation, in those moments.Now, I am not suggesting that the type of meditation mentioned at the source is wrong or ineffective. What I am suggesting however is that people don't need to get stuck with one type of explanation of meditation because ultimately you can achieve the same goal by shifting the focus a bit.
