Donna Halper: Is it possible that a person could not be ready to meditate at one time, and yet at another time be ready to meditate?

Sri Chinmoy: Yes, it is possible. It is like cooking food. Every day someone may not cook the most delicious food. One day he makes delicious food; another day he is a failure. But he does not give up cooking or eating just because he is not always successful.

From:Sri Chinmoy,The inner world and the outer world, Agni Press, 1988
