STUDENT 2: “I thought it would be easy…”
Because it’s hard. Because I know if my mind was at the place I want it to be, it wouldn’t be this hard. For me, meditation has so far been about quieting my mind to a place where meditation is no longer so difficult.
I thought it would be easy for me. I was wrong.
I don’t know if the path of awakening has a definitive end point, but I’ll know I’ve come a lot closer when the thought of sitting quietly by myself for 10 minutes no longer terrifies me.
It was never supposed to be this hard. But, then again, I guess I never knew I needed it this much.
