That's Not Practice - That's Desertion!

"When you begin to practice samādhi you want peace and tranquillity. But you don’t get any. You don’t get any because you have never practiced this way. Your heart says, 'I’ll sit until I attain tranquillity'. But when tranquillity doesn’t arise, you suffer. And when there is suffering, you get up and run away! To practice like this can not be called 'developing the heart'. It’s called 'desertion'."
