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[His faithful dog salutes the smiling guest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12654]]></link><description><![CDATA[His faithful dog salutes the smiling guest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10407]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26137]]></link><description><![CDATA[One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He carried and nourished in his breast a snake, tender-hearted against his own interest. [Lat., Colubram sustulit  Sinuque fovet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23758]]></link><description><![CDATA[He carried and nourished in his breast a snake, tender-hearted against his own interest. [Lat., Colubram sustulit  Sinuque fovet, contra se ipse misericors.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5371]]></link><description><![CDATA[The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is very small indeed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15417]]></link><description><![CDATA[The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is very small indeed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the NBA scheduling, a lot of times it puts the onus on teams traveling.
