The question is, “Why do you do practices?” because a lot of people will
step away from this and say, “I ought to meditate.” Forget it. Don’t!
Go out and lust some more. Go until you are so nauseated by your own
predicament that you yearn to meditate. Get so hungry for it that you
can’t wait to just sit down.
Turn off the television, turn off the drama and just be quiet for a few
minutes. Wait until you really want it, because when you start with “I
should,” you end up hating the practice, hating everybody, and hating
yourself. Then you cheat and then you get guilty. It’s a whole thing
that you psychologically do. Forget it.
You came here and that was an honest thing you did. You are here. What
you hear, you hear. What you don’t hear, you don’t, don’t collect it. If
it doesn’t stick forget it. It’ll come around again, another lifetime
maybe...Maybe 10,000 lifetimes. Who knows?
