I've been meditating for quite sometime now and I've learnt the value of being aware and conscious of our own thoughts and action. It has a beauty and peace of a different quality.
I've also been experiencing the other side of life - unconsciousness - alcohol, smoke, hash etc.. Recently to my Goa trip - I finally tried what is called perhaps the biggest drug - LSD or Acid as they call in the drugs world. This has its own fun and ecstasy.
After all this, I was walking on the Arambol beach and I wonder which life is to be lived ? Which is better ?
There is nothing wrong in being drug addict. Its a lovely world. You enjoy, you get amazing experiences. All it does is harm your mind and body - which is a personal decision one should choose to trade off.
But I am biased towards the first half, may be because this is the general perception. Meditation is superior to drug, drugs are cooler than meditation.
So, it confuses me further. What I'd leave this thought for now is both are perfectly fine. I am not going to be against drugs, not going to be into drugs, not going to be into meditation, not going to be out of meditations.
I am gonna try both. It has been years that I've tried these drugs and now I am planning to give a serious shot at meditation. I've never meditated for more than fews days, a week at max. I'll be signing up for a 3 months residential programme at Osho Commune International Pune starting Dec'09.
Let's see if I learn more things about life, till then I stay confused.
