About This Quote
The problem with most of us is that we are always thinking about yesterday and tomorrow at the same time. We are so busy with our worries and defenses that we don’t realize the true value of our meditation. If you are free from memory and imagination, you will always be meditative. If you release yourself from these, meditation is just natural. When you sit for meditation, what is your basic problem? You are either thinking about tomorrow or thinking about what happened yesterday
