What I’m trying to say is that sometimes, what you think is ‘misfortune’ is actually fortune which comes in the garb of misfortune. Only then do you begin to think seriously, ‘Where am I going?’, ‘What am I doing?’ Hence, that’s another reason why people begin to meditate. When such things happen, then people begin to meditate, question, think, contemplate, because they have seen the emptiness of life.
