I like you too
. There was a devotee that used to like to see the Master (Paramahansa Yogananda). Every time he would see him he enjoyed being around him but told him.'I can't give up sex, women, drinking and smoking and I cannot meditate.' The Master told him the same thing each time he saw him. 'You don't have to give up these things... just meditate 10 minutes a day.'
He kept telling the man that and gradually the man meditated more and more with the techniques he had been given and replaced the other things with meditation. So you see this is the path. We slowly give up the pleasures of the senses and replace them with the joys of the soul. Step by step... slow by slow we are being transformed. It is for us to enjoy the path back home.. not begrudge it. Rome wasn't built in a day.
