| "I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy!" "All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. |

| Quote of the moment |
| If a person has a really deep interest in spiritual growth, he or she cannot do away with the practice of meditation. That is the key! Just a mere prayer or wish will not affect this inner spiritual change. The only way for development is through a constant effort through meditation. Of course, in the beginning it is not easy. You may find difficulties, or a loss of enthusiasm. Or perhaps in the beginning there will be too much enthusiasm - then after a few weeks or months, your enthusiasm may wane. We need to develop a constant, persistent approach based on a long-term commitment. |

| Quote of the moment |
| There were once two monks - a teacher and his student. In order to give some encouragement to his student, the teacher said, "One day we will definitely go for a picnic." After a few days it was forgotten. The student later reminded the teacher of his promise but the teacher responded by saying that he was too busy to go for a picnic for a while. A long time passed; no picnic. When reminded again, the teacher said, "Not now. I am far too busy." So one day the student saw a dead body being carried off, and the teacher asked him, "What is happening?" And the student replied, "Well, that poor man is going on a picnic!" So, unless you make specific time for something that you feel committed to, you will always have other obligations. |
