One of the ways we can relate to practice is that we can be content with the small steps of what we can do. So if we engage with meditation on the breath, maybe we are quite agitated, and it is very difficult to be with the breath. But can there be some, even just a little hint, of some peace, some ease, some acceptance, some non-conflict, some non-greed, and some non-hate? Can there be some compassion, some love, in relationship to that? Maybe at first it may be just a glimmer of peace, and whenever you have a choice to bring it up, you bring that up so that it has that quality there. Then, from that quality, something can grow. From that little glimmer or little seed that we have planted, the hope is that we can expand that and change. It is not the end of practice just to have a glimmer of peace. But can a little seed like that grow and become something much bigger?
Your practice, whatever you may do, may begin to have some quality of enjoyment, a quality of something you enjoy doing. If you are striving and pushing and demanding for something to happen in your practice, then chances are that you are not enjoying your practice, and chances are that you are destroying something inside of yourself rather than nourishing something and setting something free.
