Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace. -- Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)
I'm forever reading that surrender of attachment to results, detachment in a word, is the key to peace, to love, to joy...and I doubt it not. The how to, of course, is to "practice living love by loving adversity the same as no adversity." I'm about half convinced that the only way to do that is to take nothing personally.
The most important word in "practice living love by loving adversity the same as no adversity" is "practice." The first three words are a complete sentence...paragraph...book. Bible?
They clarify the original quote of Sri Krishna...his "surrender of attachment to results." There it is. We skate right by "practice living love" to being resistant to the idea of loving adversity. No...doesn't make sense...not looking for perfection...boring.
To practice living love is to meet adversity, resist it, win over it...and have it return bigger, badder, blacker, and we meet it again, resist it...a tish less...win, etc. Until we meet it again, mentally bow to it, smile as we kiss it on the lips, and walk free of that one itsy-bitsy example of adversity. It is the mental kiss, the utter acceptance, that advances our soul a hundredfold...or more.
And that, Babe, is the name of the game.
Thank you.
