The Power of Choosing What to Do

Monks don't have to decide what to wear it's all set for them what to eat whatever is given when to get up exactly as the monastery routine suggests that gives you a structure and it's a balanced structure. I consider it much more difficult and much more efficacious to lead this kind of a balanced life for decades and decades instead of suddenly in a burst seven days meditate 16 hours a day and then the eight they have a nervous breakdown That's no good. So the power of deciding what to do should be used for higher things not what to eat or what to wear.
