It Will Pass

A student went to his meditation teacher and said,
“My meditation is horrible!
I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I’m constantly falling asleep.
It’s just horrible!”
“It will pass,” the teacher said.

A week later, the student came back to his teacher.
“My meditation is wonderful!
I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive!
It’s just wonderful!’
“It will pass,” the teacher replied.
