Quote of the day - Apr 13th

Do not expect to be guided throughout your entire life, for that is not cultivation. Motivation can be given, but the effort must come from within. If you are being helped all through life, then there is no need to cultivate or to practise—and without self-help and cultivation, how can there be any real progress? Be glad when you can reach the state of 'no help' and dwell in the state of normalcy that would mean that you are ready to proceed on your own, relying on your effort and mental strength. This is the essence of true cultivation – achieved by your very own self. (D-820605-1)
