#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  Cultivation is to fight on, to continue in the face of resistance and criticism, at times desperation. So, there's always a battle in my mind of my cultivation with this hyper-logical nature that doesn't want to believe in the cultivation. In order to grow, you need to have resistance. What do you do when there resistance? You don't quit. You don't give up. You patiently endure, and you do it gradually. If your mind your rational mind says this is nonsense so forth, you listen carefully. You say, "What part of it is irrational to you?" Then, you meditate on that. You don't say, "Shut up." like losers would do. Yeah, "I'm having it with you." You bear with it, and you contemplate. If you do that to that rational mind of yours, it really nags and nags and this is nonsense. It doesn't make sense. You say, "Okay, you're right. Let me contemplate." And you cross your legs, and you meditate. They keep on bugging you and bugging you, and one day you break through. And that's a recipe, folks. I want you to understand this. Cultivation is to fight on, to continue in the face of resistance and criticism, at times desperation.
