Whatever we resist is strengthened by our resistance. Two spiritual principles which amount to the same thing: (1) Resist nothing. (2) Stop trying. There will come a day when these subversives are taught routinely, as a matter of necessity. For now, ego’s handling things.
Make no plans. Or as Jesus said, “Take no thought for tomorrow.” Re-stated in the positive: Let life lead. Welcome what comes. All of it. No exceptions, exclusions or judgements. “This being human is a guest house,” Rumi wrote. “Every morning a new arrival.”
The true man is quiet. He does not want things to be different than they are.
Love acts, ego reacts.
