Is meditation a selfish pursuit?
No. The purpose of meditation is to understand “self”. Through meditation, we become aware of ourselves exactly as we are and start seeing the numerous subtle ways that we act out our own selfishness. We realize that selfishness is the root cause of our own suffering and stresses. When this understanding dawns upon us, we truly begin to be genuinely selfless. Cleansing ourselves of selfishness is not a selfish activity.
