Meditation- Going Anywhere?

Sometimes when I am meditating, I felt the presence of expectation creeping into my mind. Will I reach the next stage? Maybe I will be able to attain jhanas in today's practice. But what I always remember from the Great Masters is that to forget and let go of these expectation that meditation can bring you and stay in the present. Just simply be present with a calm mind is enough for meditation to progress. Expectation is like bring the mind to future events that has not happened and will greatly hinder your progress.

So please do not let expectation hinder your progress. You are not going anywhere, you are just here doing meditation!!!
