For a person in reasonable physical and mental health who is genuinely
interested and willing to make a sincere effort, meditation (including “noble silence”) is not
difficult. If you are able to follow the instructions patiently and diligently, you can be sure of
tangible results. Though it may appear daunting, the day’s schedule is neither too severe nor too
relaxed. Moreover, the presence of other students practicing conscientiously in a peaceful and conducive
atmosphere lends tremendous support to one’s efforts.
