A meditation: Thy will, not mine, be done.
Thy will within be done...not my ego-will be done.
Thy will within me wants only the best for me personally, allows only the best for me personally, plus allows no one to be harmed or even slighted but s/he, too, receives beneficially, same as I.
Thy will within being done does not stand in the way of karma. What hurts, harms, makes us sick or afraid is what our ego-will has sent out, returning home...completing its circle.
My ego-will wants only its best for me personally, and no matter if and/or how others are hurt.
Thy will being done requires complete trust in the goodness of grace for the reasoning mind cannot know whether that which is happening is good or bad. The reasoning mind, based in ego, will always fear the appearance if on its face it looks dicey...it will accept the appearance as the reality which it never is.
Thy will...love, peace, joy, happiness...cannot be seen, heard, tasted or touched, only realized.
Ego-will...a money tree in our back yard, a love on our arm, a friend who understands us and likes us anyhow, and food in the fridge. But where are we when the money tree is uprooted and blown away in a hurricane, the love splits with the friend who understands us, and the hurricane cuts the electricity so all the food is spoiled?
If all that happens...there, that is our gold. For that will lead us finally to seek: Thy will, not mine, be done.
Thank You.
