The Journey of Meditation: Finding Happiness in Practice : หน้า 127/200

But if you begin your practice in the right way, even if the result may appear slow but in fact it is not slow at all. Although there’s no shortcut in the way of practice, in due time the shortcut will present itself. So, train your mind to be still. Find happiness and joy every time you practice, or at least get to the point where you no longer feel tense, uncomfortable, or bored. If you’re able to experience even a brief moment of happiness each time you practice, it is the sign that you are doing it the right way. Your inner experience will improve with time. Meditate today like a kindergarten student. Take it easy and follow the instruction without reluctance, and you’ll see good results. When you reach a certain level of attainment, you’ll feel open, spacious, serene and peaceful, and be able to access the source of happiness. You’ll feel refreshed like walking near a waterfall, hearing the sound of the water and feeling the cool mist touching your body; or like walking on a cool, shallow stream on a hot sunny day. Experiencing even a tiny dose of happiness that rejuvenates your spirit is an indication that you’re on the right path.
