No Time

Because you are seeking for something which can be attained, you will be discouraged. And you will give up the practice and you will try to find out some other teaching which is worthwhile to strive for. And in this way you will change your way from one to the other. And you will have no time to realize our true nature which is universal to everyone. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-07-24 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
