Dear Mr.Bill, I understand your explanation. But please note I cannot just sit and do meditation. I have two children and both are autistic ( a kind of mental retardation), and hence they wouldn’t allow me to sit for 5 minutes. So I have to be on toes always.
And I need to work for me and my family to have a better life, what I mean here is without working I cannot eat even for a single month. So when one is working from 9 to 6 and travelling time is 2 hours and moment you reach home, you have kids which need to take for Occupational therapy, speech therapy etc., Even in weekends there are classes like Music class, Key board class, computer class and skating class. By the time I finish taking my children to all classes I am dead tired, but even in bed you cannot sleep so peacefully, because they have very poor sleep, even for smallest sound, my children will wake up and they wake me up. So every day one cannot have good sleep also. So in this kind of situation, how can I sit for meditation? You seems practicing Zen, have you ever reached Buddha nature? You said “'I am touching this rock, and there is an 'I' (self) and a 'rock' and they are separate things.'” Can you tell me what is this self? Have you ever questioned yourself ‘Who am I‘ . The duality is created by you and you want to dissolve it by yourself? Can you tell me a technique for a person like me who is totally occupied in his life and no time to sit silently?
