It seems to be a human-condition truth that we find it relatively easy to believe in the devil, or our bad luck, and, with the same ease, difficult to believe in God, or the constancy of love.
I doubt anyone ever had to think, ponder, meditate on how to bring less-than-wonderful (the devil) into our life. But all that study is required, and daily, to get and to maintain an inner connection with peace of mind (God, the constancy of love).
I suspect this is the yin and yang of our ego and our inner seeking for spiritual growth...for the God of our own understanding in fact.
To "swim against the current" is ego deflation in depth...not just in meditation but in daily dealings. To get over our own self is to swim against the current...going against our egoic mind which always legislates for itself. Face it, our egoic mind's objective is simply a want dressed up as a need.
There are endless justifications for not going against our ego's dictates but few reasoning mind ones. Ego makes a most seductive case..."looking good" is its primary purpose and who hates that?
We must go beyond the reasoning mind to find the constancy of love...the reasoning mind is linked to our ego...the constancy of love flows free. Go with the flow.
Thank you.
