Om Swami
How patient must I be on the path of meditation?
Walk the path with patience and restraint
As you meditate, the mind begins to go silent, and as it does, meditation deepens, like two sticks rubbed together until fire arises. So one must walk this path with intellect, enthusiasm, patience, perseverance, firmness and restraint.
In the same way, one must first walk this path with intellect, enthusiasm, patience, perseverance, firmness and self-restraint.
