The Master must have known that his words were frequently
beyond his disciples' comprehension. He spoke to them nonetheless
in the knowledge that a day would surely come when his
words would take root and blossom in the hearts of those who
heard them.
One day he said, "Time always seems so long when you wait -
for a vacation, an examination, for something yearned for or
dreaded in the future.
"But to those who dare to surrender to the experience of the
present moment -- with no thought about the experience, no
desire that it return or be avoided -- time is transformed into the
radiance of eternity."
~ Anthony de Mello, SJ
from "Awakening: Conversations with the Masters"
