The thought passed my mind that a dear friend or a mortal enemy exhibiting rude or unkind behavior toward me requires my not attaching to the behavior but to my holding to the thought that his soul is the same as mine, that her being and mine are one...one with God.
My second thought: I know that to be true, but I'm nowhere near proving it, as in walking it consistently without thought.
Third thought...I suspect that this is what Goldsmith means when he writes that demands made on us are God's demands made on God...and he has already fulfilled his demand. It is not mine to strive for, to attempt to get, it is mine to accept...loose my grip on my "want" and accept my "need" as fulfilled.
What makes that so hard to do is my reasoning mind's picture of what it should look like, and to my reasoning mind, it should look like my want.
Loose it and let it go.
Thank You.
