Meditation makes you so light, hollow and empty.

Chapter 8 - The Veils Of Misery 

Day 69

When these impressions are good, they bring you much joy and happiness. However, if they not good, they bring suffering. It depends on your merit and demerit. If you have done good to people, then that good karma accumulates and brings you joy. 

If somebody is happy, it is because he has done something good in the past. If somebody is miserable, he has done something bad in the past. So, here Patanjali connects every happiness and misery to some action of the past - all that is in your karma tank.

And, meditation is the way we wash out the misery. You become so light, hollow and empty. You sing and dance to make thin the veil which is on the Self. This is very precious. Sometimes, you may feel bored. It does not matter. 

Just be aware that you are burning some old seeds of boredom. If you are bored with yourself, just think how boring you would be to somebody else? So even if you are bored, never mind. It will make you more and more sensitive. Know that you are just burning something - tapas. 

You should think that it is a tapas, and that you are doing penance. You should willingly just take the step and be determined to do it, however boring it is. You often take up challenges with friends. Similarly, take up this challenge. To get over your boredom, kindle the challenge in you.
