In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more established you are in society, the more pageantry there tends to be at the weddings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40132]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more established you are in society, the more pageantry there tends to be at the weddings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57275]]></link><description><![CDATA[My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.
