Story ‣ It Will Pass

A student went to his meditation teacher and said,

“My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, my legs ache, and I’m constantly falling asleep. It’s just horrible!”

“It will pass,” the teacher said matter-of-factly.

A week later, the student came back to his teacher.

“My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, and so alive! It’s just wonderful!”

“It will pass,” the teacher replied matter-of-factly!
