Practice is not easy. It will transform our life. But if we have a naive idea that this transformation can take place without a price being paid, we fool ourselves. Don’t practice unless you feel there’s nothing else you can do. Instead, step up your surfing or your physics or your music. If that satisfies you, do it. Don’t practice unless you feel you must.
This is very nicely non-prostelitizing. Too many philosophies, religions and cults want to bring everyone on board through aggressive recruitment. This relies on reverse psychology.
