Shetty Learned to Meditate on Chaotic Train to Master Peace in Chaos
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
The Simple Question That Makes Every Decision Easier (Use THIS Daily Framework To FINALLY Get Unstuck)
"Do you think life is going to be peaceful like the stop or chaotic like the train? And I said, I think it's going to be both, but I think it's going to be more like the train. And he said, yeah, that's why you need to learn how to meditate on the train."
During a 2-3 day train journey through India as a monk, Shetty attempted to escape the chaotic train by meditating during station stops. His teacher challenged him to meditate in chaos rather than seeking peaceful environments, arguing that life resembles the train more than the stop. This lesson became foundational to Shetty's ability to meditate anywhere, including in Ubers and on planes.
