If you are meditating, Buddha says, let it be samyak — right meditation. Don’t make too much fuss about it, don’t make a tension out of it. Don’t create anguish. Don’t become mad. Don’t be aggressive. And he also says that that does not mean to forget all about it and go on living the way you are living. No, make efforts for meditation, but in a joyous way, a graceful way, always in the middle. Be gentle, be gentlemanly. Buddha is the perfect gentleman; the emphasis is on gentle. He is a rare person in that way.
