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.
Men are taught how to fix things. What they’re not taught is how to be a space for what happens. How to allow. How not to resist. “Male and female he created them, and called their name Adam, in the day they were created.”
