The Fastest Way to Recharge Your Energy | Buddhist Wisdom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuIKki-ibN8) It's not about not depleting, but it's about recharging quicker. And that's the secret of successful life. Typically, you have to wait until the night time before you have a chance to repair your body. And then you recharge yourself and the next day you exhaust it again. You deplete your battery again. You go into a deficit every single day. Actually, all you're doing is depleting the reserves of your body organs. And when you get to the point where it's so depleted, you'll be sick. So, it's not about age, folks. It's about how soon you deplete your reserves. And when you are there depleted, they cannot be recharged. You don't have the technology to recharge it. You don't have a fast charger. Whereas those of you who practice Chan, you actually have basically are developing a supercharger for yourself. That you can charge anytime. Whether it's at night, whether it's during the day, anytime you meditate, you activate your supercharger to replenish your battery. That's why it's so important. If you have a supercharger, then you can last a lot longer. If you don't take care of your body, you are depleting your reserves. And when you deplete your reserves, folks, sicknesses come. The reserves are very important for you to protect yourself. The medical people May measure in terms of the white cells and how how strong your immune system is, but for us spiritually, basically your reserves. Although those systems are to fend yourself, to protect yourself, and fend off the unwelcome invaders. And when you don't have it anymore, they come in and they simply don't say anything. They quietly build their camps, very much like nowadays you supposed to be experiencing cold and flu in the cold season. The cold, the flu come to your throat and develop a camp around your throat before they attack you. At the time you feel a lump in your throat, you'll be sick already. You're constantly bombarded with foreign substances, microplastics and all those things and we have no we don't we ignore it. We you should wait until the body is broken before we we call our nurse, we call up our doctor. That's how it is. So, if you believe that, you will make time to meditate. You know why? Because if you meditate, it turns out that you replenish your reserves. If you meditate 5-10 minutes at work, you replenish your battery. You actually can be more productive. But it takes an investment. It takes time for you to invest in developing the skills to be able to replenish your battery quickly. You have that technology, you have that technique and that skill set, you can recharge yourself during the day. You recharge yourself in the afternoon. You recharge yourself before you go home so that you have more energy to spend on your family. It's so beneficial for everyone involved. You still have to deplete your battery. That's our nature. That's natural for us to naturally use up what we have. If we don't use it, we find more ways to deplete it even faster. So, it's not about not depleting, but it's about recharging quicker. And that's the secret of of successful life. Can you learn to replenish your battery quickly or not? That's what makes you a superior person versus an ordinary person. And finally, another thing I'm going to caution you as well is that I give you the example of the cold and flu. They come in, you don't even know they in until they have a large number and you begin to see a lump in your throat, at the base of your throat or your neck. By then, even if you meditate, it will take you a day or two to get rid of it. It's too late. But think about it. That's easy one because you can feel the lump right away because it's not designed to kill you. However, there are other severe illnesses. They come into your body or they sprout in your body because you have those genes already. They silently killing you and not even your doctors can detect it. Because the medical profession is only designed to detect certain the the symptoms as a certain type symptoms will only manifest when you reach a certain level of severity. By then, it's worrisome because now you have to take medication, now you have to do take drastic measures to address it. When you meditate every day, you actually are nipping at the buds. You nipping as soon as they come in, you zap it. That's why you healthier. Not only are you replenishing your battery, you also are zapping out the foreign invaders, the foreign substances. So, it's a matter of survival you ask me. This is very critical.
