I'm not sure where to post this, I found a couple threads but I am getting tired and wanted to put this out there.
I haven't meditated in a while. There is a verse in the gita where Yogananda further explains that, when a student begins to exercise in meditation with sincerity that the rousing sense army rises up in full retaliation. I think I've been experiencing this.

So my post/concern is this,
Spiritual Amnesia

How is it that we can become so easily and willingly ensnared?

I think I lack the discipline. Then I try hard and end up becoming tired or disinterested in pursuing the practice, bored even. All these things leading me back to spiritual amnesia and back to craving the discipline I once exercised. I know life has ebb and flow and perhaps a reason to meditate is to lessen the extremes of these ups and downs and to keep ourselves from becoming forgetful of our greater desires.
