“You don’t have to be religious to be spiritual, or to hunger for a more fulfilled life. But it takes some work to move past the trappings of everyday life, of our insistent preoccupations, self-absorption and ambitions. I don’t know anyone who gets there with an epiphany, like a bolt of lightning. The work, the process of gaining some measure of enlightenment, self-acceptance and, yes, fulfillment, needs structure, guidance and repetition, as does every form of mastery. You know the joke where a passerby seeking directions in front of the Julliard School of Music asks a student, 'How do you get to Julliard?' The answer: 'Practice, practice, practice.'”
