You have all the time in the world, but don't waste a moment.

All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

You have all the time in the world, but don't waste a moment.

Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.

When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. Its a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. Its a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification.

I think that people will find a tremendous joy and fulfillment in service to other human beings, and that often this is what is missing in their lives.
