Religions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.
Ram DassI can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!
Ram DassAlong 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.
