In any discord, no matter how minor, if one party does not yield, if only within him/herself, a major war will erupt...eventually. It will only be resolved by the yielding of one or both sides...complete surrender or compromise...which, when we look back, means that the discord was unnecessary to begin with.
Our reasoning mind always legislates for itself and will always have a self-determined objective at hand. Introduce a "minor discord," as in, we may want to simply shut the other person up or, something prettier, to not "upset" the other one (which, in reality, is the proverbial moi), and there is the seed of resentment. That seed will grow, will fester, will erupt into the very war our self-determined objective was seeking to avoid.
Again we are reminded: We have given up fighting anything and anybody. Eventually, the lesson we learn is in how we give up. We learn to shuck our shields, to live with a giving-over attitude...also known as an attitude of gratitude. We give over through spiritual principles, spiritual growth, spiritual means.
The great lesson is that eventually is always NOW the instant that we realize that this, too, is of God, that in giving over we have been graced with peace, the pearl beyond price, our reasoning mind's one desire.
Thank You.
