Via Daily Dharma: Meditating Without Goals
While
it is necessary to be attracted to our practice if we are to develop a
strong motivation to do it, it is entirely destructive if that
attraction is based on achieving, during the practice, a desired state
of mind while excluding others.
—Nigel Wellings, “Are You Practicing Stupid Meditation?”
