When you've been enlightened/awakened, do you find it hard to watch meaningless TV?

No, I love meaningless TV! It’s entertainment.

But it was very hard initially, yes. So if you’re experiencing it, it’s normal. I couldn’t relate, but I still can’t relate - inability to relate does not automatically translate into not being able to enjoy. So even though I told myself I couldn’t watch TV because I couldn’t relate, the reality was that it was hard for me.

The good news is, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. If you don’t want to watch TV - just don’t do it. If you don’t want to talk to people - don’t do it either. Be a hermit for all I care. Don’t let anyone tell you what is and isn’t appropriate any longer.
