Wisdom is one of the few things in human life that does not diminish with age.

From a Hindu perspective, you are born as what you need to deal with, and if you just try and push it away, whatever it is, it's got you.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering.

This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.
