Quotes from Episode:

When people explain why they don't meditate, they often express, "I'm too busy for meditation." That’s like someone stating, "I'm too dirty to take a bath."

“When people ask me what I do, I say, I teach meditation and mind training practices because when we meditate, all we're doing is training our minds to become serviceable so that we have our minds instead of our minds having us.”
