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.
Ram DassIf you keep examining your mind, you'll come to see that thoughts of who you are and how it all is are creating the reality you're experiencing.
