You Must Make the Effort


There are still people who, instead of making the effort themselves, hope that there are others who will be able to give the strength needed to proceed. They think that simply by depending on a certain teacher their practice is bound to progress.

Just because your practice makes no progress by itself, there is no reason to expect that somebody else will be able to supply such progress. When there is no progress, it is simply because you are not exerting sufficient effort yourself. To think otherwise is foolish. It is ridiculous to complain that no one is helping you when you yourself are not making any effort.
