Short monologue (YouTube video) arguing that meditation does not always need to feel pleasant; sometimes meditation requires facing and resolving painful parts of oneself. The speaker (Vishen Lakhiani) emphasizes that accepting and offering kindness to rejected parts leads to change and a sense of spiritual wealth.

You know, a lot of people think meditation should feel great. Not always. Sometimes, you know, you have to go into the parts of yourself that you don't like, and you have to resolve them, and that's kind of painful. You know, the more, I think the more you accept and love and give kindness to the parts of yourself that you normally reject, the more they start to change into a feeling of spiritual wealth within yourself.
