This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficulty in life is the choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difficulty in life is the choice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24873]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people walk into a modern home, they don't ask about a library. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35893]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people walk into a modern home, they don't ask about a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only cure for grief is action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18335]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only cure for grief is action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17183]]></link><description><![CDATA[I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to avoid an arrow shot in one's sight; but hard to escape one aimed in secret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62829]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to avoid an arrow shot in one's sight; but hard to escape one aimed in secret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is come to open The purple testament of bleeding war. -King Richard II.
