The Buck

 I don't think the spiritual path flourishes simply by meditation, regardless of the discipline.  It requires a response of service, recognizing a need and responding with action.  Some people who say they meditate, ignore a lot of mess around them, or if the notice it, might say something like, "Who is supposed to do this?"  It never occurs to them to step up and do the task that needs doing.  This is referred to as "passing the buck."  Action is really a small act of love, even if we are not "feeling" it at the moment.  One of the changes that comes from a spiritual practice of prayerful meditation is that we do things we might not really want to do, but need doing.
