So, not only professionals, meditation is a must for everybody. Why? Okay, why do we meditate?

Because, अच्छा, this cup is yellow, predominantly yellow. You're all nodding your head because you don't have tinted glasses. You wear red-coloured glasses; then you tell me if this cup is yellow. It'll look green. अभी जब tinted glasses पहनते हो, when you're wearing red-coloured tint glasses, and you're looking at something, and it looks green, is it green? No, it is distorted; you're looking at a distorted signal. है कि नहीं?

We are all living like this. Our mind is picking up signals and distorting it depending on the state of the mind. If you're a left-brain person versus a right-brain person, the same signal will be interpreted differently in your brain, so you don't know what the reality is. You think you know reality because, "यार, मेरे को तो ग्रीन दिख रहा है।" बॉस लेकिन चश्मा ही लाल है तो कप पीला है। अब बोल? Like this, we are living our life.

So meditation, what it does, meditation balances the hemispheres of the mind, of the brain, really. And then the perception becomes clear, it becomes less distorted. So, professionals want information in a less distorted manner so that they can take good decisions.

But everybody wants to do that, not only professionals. Why only professionals? Everybody — tabla player wants to hear the sound of the violin without distortion. Otherwise, his beat frequency will be different. So he needs undistorted information.

Everybody wants undistorted information, so meditation is at the level of the mind; whatever signal is coming will be undistorted. Which is why meditation is a must for everybody, not only professionals.
