Meditation gives us the ability to see what needs to happen, and then we can act. It is not a robotic state where we can process only what is right in front of us. It gives us a panoramic view of the reality of our situation so that we know how best to direct our energy and take care of ourselves and others long-term. That is the best kind of planning for the future: being open to what is truly going on right now and acting accordingly.
