Listen on to find out.

"You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete and total "surrender"... It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is no way out ... Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you away from Yourself..."  -U. G. Krishnamurti

"[When we meditate], we often think that somehow we’re going to improve, which is a subtle aggression against who we really are...We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of unworthiness. Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already. The ground of practice is you or me or whoever we are right now, just as we are. That’s what we come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest." ~ Pema Chodron
