Why not the same?

After feeling the heat in everyday's life we realise that there must be something which we've not earned inspite of our material success. Then, we browse through our newspapers and yellow pages to know about the nearest yoga centre. We approach them and pay the fees to "buy" the inner peace. Or on doctor advice we approach yoga center .

There the yoga expert would teach you 2 or 3 asanas (infact, you 'll not be able to touch your feet as a matter of fact, you wouldn;t have seen your toes for years together in a standing posture) the expert would command you to bend forward there one could see a great "bulund darwaza" between your hands and toes your hands struggle hard to touch the toes.Blame your Madhya pradesa for all your ills.

The next session would be on pranayama That would be the first day you would watch your breathing which you had not done during your schooldays, collegedays or during your "first night"/if it was not first night "close encounters" / one-night stands with girl friends/boy friends(actually, we breathe according to our moods )

The last and important session of yoga classes you will be taught how to meditate the moment you learned this art your mind would instruct you that you 've been joined in the panel of great rishis of India.

You expect consistency in meditation because you've been tuned like that. You started gauging the experience during "meditation" and you compare this session with other session there by you end up losing interest in meditation . The end result: back to square one.

The meditation experience will not be same. One should not compare the meditation results. Once compared, which means you were not involved in meditation actively.
