If 'thank you' is the only prayer you ever say, that will suffice. -- Meister Eckhart
....Until we get that spiritually, not just from our eyebrows up, but from our eyebrows down, away from our reasoning mind, we will never know true peace. If we only get it mentally, and act on it from that place without spiritual understanding, we will be doing no more than acting as if our lips were stapled shut, with our thoughts in silent turmoil, the very womb of resentments.
The purpose of spiritual work is not to teach us how to take care of ourselves. It is to teach us unto realization that we are being taken care of...in a far better way than our reasoning mind can comprehend...let it Be...let It be.
Our reasoning mind will never agree to that because our reasoning mind is the home of our ego. Never get in a debate with ego...we will not win, we will not even come out sore losers. We will become converts...away from spiritual growth into personal stagnation...away from giving into getting. There is no God-peace there.
That is the nature of our work today...learning, practicing, doing let it be. We know peace in the grace of gratitude and utter safety in letting it be.
Thank you.
