I think I am addicted to meditation. Is it bad to be addicted to something awesome like meditation ?

Question - Gurudev, I think I am addicted to meditation. Is it bad to be addicted to something awesome like meditation?

Gurudev Sri Sri - You can't say that you are addicted to compassion, it is a wrong word to use since it is an integral part of your life. Similarly, you can't say that I am so addicted to being clean, I am addicted to brushing my teeth. Just like brushing is dental hygiene, meditation is mental hygiene. Yes, you should not be obsessed with it. Suppose you could not meditate for one day, do not make a big issue out of it by getting upset or angry, never mind. Once in a while, like once in two years, it is okay. You should not feel guilty about it. However, missing meditation should not become a regular thing. Missing it three times a week is not very advisable.
