When you say you follow the teachings, it does not mean you can sit everyday and close your eyes for hours together - not that the mind is still - and think that you have done the job. The spiritual teaching includes looking after people, who are less privileged and who are suffering; unless you do that, I do not think that you can sit and meditate. It's not possible. Well, you can go into a hypnotic trance and think that you have gone into meditation, but you have to improve your life, you have to become less self-centered. Move outside your self.
