Each person begins where they are and follows the path as best they can. And that we are faithful to the mantra throughout the times of our meditation. Other practices that we may be accustomed to may continue as before. However, many find that their prayer-life becomes more simplified with the passage of time and find that the daily reading of sacred scripture along with the two periods of meditation will suffice. That would be a kind of spiritual materialism.
Meditation is a way of silence, stillness and simplicity.
