Yogi: I took a long hike yesterday – I was feeling really joyful, sometimes with grasping. When I returned, thoughts were going wild and I realized that it was self-doubt and all about the self, like if I was a good yogi.

Sayadaw: There are some qualities of the mind, some activities of the mind, which are such a habit of the mind that it takes time to understand them and to become free of them.

Yogi: It will still take a lot of time.

Sayadaw: Only practice one day at a time.

Whether you’re a good or a bad yogi, it is fine just as long as you’re a yogi.
