Whatever you do, do it seriously

Since I arrived at the temple, many people looked down at me and mistreated me, but I did not allow myself to be affected by them. Instead, I focused my attention on meditation and on finding the right answers for Luang Por (Wat Paknam). I reached a high level of success because whatever I did, I did it with seriousness and intensity. I considered it a waste of time to engage in jealousy and competition. Those who deem themselves superior are often engaged in petty competition and struggles. As for me, I don?t waste my time with petty politics. I?d rather spend it on meditation.
