Frustration of the mind is a good sign, meditation is going deep. but frustration is not necessary...someone can realize the self in full celebration, in ecstasy, in letting go. IT is HERE, as a GIFT. you have not done anything...it is here. you can not reclame it, not be proud of it...is a GIFT, a surprise you can not be ready for. it is all you have ever wanted, and it comes so naturally that it seems you have not done anything about it...it appears absolutely fresh, new. just take it,and let go breath it, allow it... the gift is here...recognize it.
