At the beginning all sorts of bad thoughts will rise up in your mind the moment you sit down to meditate… Because of this certain disciples abandon their spiritual practices. If you attempt to chase a monkey, he will try to leap on you in vengeance. And thus it is with the old impregnations (samskaras); bad thoughts try to avenge themselves and redouble their efforts as soon as you strive to awaken in yourself benefic and divine reflections. Your enemy is ingenious in ways to paralyse your efforts to have him expulsed from the house. Resistance is a natural law.
