When you are not faithful and you are smart enough, you create troubles and problems

People usually don’t sit much. If they sit because they are tired, that is it. I don’t think they are aware or practice their awareness. So, what is lacking of Dharma practitioner is sitting. Sitting needs a lot of work. We can get tired, legs are hurting pains etc. Not easy. Of course, we need to keep balance. If you sit there and don’t move for many hours, then it is not very good. But [that can be] combined by walking. Walking is different from going. Walking is physically to take some steps and take a walk to do exercise. Going means going for samsara or going for your attachments or something. That is the difference.

Therefore, when you are humble enough and faithful enough, you try to accomplish something. When you are not faithful and you are smart enough, you create troubles and problems. So what makes people to become a good practitioner is devotion, not intelligence. In Varjayana system specifically say: “Devotion, devotion and devotion.”
