John Main says the times of meditation are the most important times of the day. That doesn’t make sense to us I think at first, maybe not for a few years until you have come to the point where you feel and know that meditation has just come into your life as a regular practice and it’s something that you would be incomplete without. The day would feel incomplete just as if you didn’t have time for breakfast or didn’t have time to eat all day or you couldn’t sleep properly for the last few days; you would feel incomplete. It is not a matter of will power. There’s a point where you come to realise that meditation has simply, as a practice, entered into and pervades your life. But there are particular times of meditation that are necessary for that; they are valuable for that.
