“When we feel that time is simply the ‘entrance ramp’ to eternity, it gives us a feeling of continuity. This life becomes the practice, and the next life becomes the game. Whichever we believe to be the game or the practice is extremely important, for so often we play this life as if it were the game, not understanding much of the drudgery and discipline of practice. When we understand life as the practice with the game coming later, we even accomplish some joy in the practice by anticipating the joy of the game.”
