A student went to his meditation teacher and said, "My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I'm constantly falling asleep. It's just horrible!"
"It will pass," the teacher said matter-of-factly.
A week later, the student came back to his teacher. "My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It's just wonderful!"
"It will pass," the teacher replied matter-of-factly.
and the alternation would pass as well? ;)

The point is to trascend the attachment to the highs and lows of life and of spiritual progress. Instead, we should find the Joy of striving to serve and create in every moment. To forget about ourselves.
