In this way, meditation will open up your attitude, little by little over time. It’s a process. It won’t help to try to measure progress. The effort to measure and accumulate progress is already small-minded and stingy! It already assumes you don’t have enough and that you need more. Instead, be willing to keep sitting like this every day, and bit by bit you will be able to see some daylight in your basic attitude that wasn’t there before—patches of blue sky peeking through the clouds.
