“Experienced practitioners understand their great good fortune in having been taught how to control their mind. They fully embrace the responsibility that comes with this: to be in control of the wild horse of the mind at all times. Non-practitioners have not had this good fortune. They have not been given the methods of Mind Training. Recognising this, practitioners expect absolutely nothing of nonpractitioners. They acknowledge that non-practitioners may inadvertently harm them, but take responsibility for that as well. This responsibility is present at all times, whatever the practitioners are experiencing in their life circumstances – good or bad.”
