It's hard work. There's no two ways about it. It's funny. People keep on tell... went to K-land (Korea) someone asked, "Why do you Buddhists always seek to sit in full lotus? It hurt like hell." Because it's... if you endure it, that's called hard work. It's not supposed to be easy. Because your ego is a cop out. He wants to seek the easy way out and if you only choose the easy way out and say, "ooh, nice," then you are under the control of your ego. You're slaving for your ego. You are not free. You are serving your ego. Where we are is the desire realm. We desire things. Watch out because the more desires you have, it's not good for you; that's all it means—pay attention.
