"You don't have any time." This is how the mind often summarily rejects our plans for devotional activities like mantra meditation.
We may indeed have a lot of things to do. But doing one thing after another drains and stresses us. At such times, the mind gleefully whispers, "Watch TV to get some stress-relief."
Whatever happened to "no time"? That was just the mind's trick to keep us away from Krishna and tightly in its clutches.
TV rarely relives our stress. Many programs leave us bored and set us off on a titillating-but-unfulfilling channel surfing spree.
When we become fed up with TV, the mind gets back to work making our life miserable. It first shames us, "You are a fool; you wasted so much time." Then it scares us, "There's so little time and so much to do. You will never be able to do it." Finally it sentences us, "You are a goner."
TV watching is just one of the many ways in which the mind deceives us. Basically, it wastes our precious time and aggravates our stress with frustration and discouragement. No wonder the Bhagavad-gita (06.05) urges us to treat the mind like our worst enemy.
