"You can meditate in a crowded noisy room because meditation is not an effort to quiet your thoughts. Meditation is to be conscious about them. Your mind can be full of noisy thoughts, your room can be crowded but meditation is to witness them all.
The more conscious you are of your thoughts, of the surrounding noise, the more silent your mind will become in a effortless and relaxing way. You can sit at home with your wife and kids and meditate. There's no need for renunciation.
Meditation is very easy to practice."
