The best thing we can do to further our spiritual progress is to stop talking. Words inevitably signify duality and the essence of spirituality is to find, beyond duality, Unity."

A most important principle in meditation is "don’t look for results”. The 'now' doesn’t change. It is eternally and ever the same. All we do is let go and surrender. Into thy hands. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
