Wrestling with the mind

[Guest guest]

Always struggle - the struggle of a hero, not of a coward - a

conquering struggle, without even a thought that there could be defeat

in that struggle.

It is not as though you can take an easy path and find that good meditation

comes. There is no easy path. When the mind is difficult, you have to rise

up and battle it. Outside troubles may come; inside troubles may come -

but rise up and be a conquering hero. There is no other way.
