Q: If you want to progress faster, and doing more meditation will help that, how much more do you really have to do to progress?

A: You should feel how much you can take, or how much you want to do. Also, it's not only the meditation; it's the heart, the commitment. It's the devotion inside that says, "Oh! I really only want this." You long for it inside yourself, and that is a meditation. It's not just the sitting.

Q: In daily life, how you deal with things and how you feel, can that help as well?

A:Yes, yes, yes: how you look at things, and how you let them go. We can talk forever, but each one has his or her own way of going to God. Faster or slower, it's their own choice. You can't dictate to your heart what to do; neither can I. You just have it or don't have it. One day you are tired, weary of the world, of the fakeness and the illusion. Then you just commit inside. And it doesn't matter how long you sit, you are committed. You are with God all the time, inside your heart. That is true meditation. And that becomes very comfortable for you. Then you know it; you know that you are devoted. Otherwise before, you try very hard to be devoted, but you're just trying. That's the difference!
