If you don’t want misery, you have to remove the cause. Then the resulting misery is automatically removed. If you think that some supernatural power will liberate you in spite of all your impurities, it is just wishful thinking. It won’t happen. You have to work according to the law of nature. Your present deep habit pattern of reacting out of ignorance, as a result of which you keep experiencing misery, has to be changed. … Intellectual understanding will give you inspiration and guidance as to how to practise, but only experience will give results. This is to be understood as we proceed. Most of the time the mind will wander. You will forget, you can’t help it, but as soon as you realise, bring the mind back. Don’t generate disappointment or depression. Just accept that the mind has wandered away, and start again. ~ The Discourses on Satipatthana Sutta
