There is a saying that goes: “In spiritual practice, difficulty comes at the beginning, in worldly affairs it comes at the end.” This means that, when renouncing ordinary activities and devoting yourself entirely to the practice, you may encounter some outer and inner obstacles; but the more you persevere, the happier you will become. Conversely, worldly activities bring some ephemeral and superficial satisfaction at first; but eventually they result in bitter disappointment. - His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
In our spiritual development we are often required to pull up roots many times and to close chapters in our lives until we are no longer attached to any material things and can love all people without any attachment to them. - Unknown
