In truth, to attain to interior peace, one must be willing to pass through the contrary to peace. Such is the teaching of the Sages. -- Swami Brahmadanda from "Words to Live By," Eknath Easwaran, November 26
There it is. Our reasoning mind will ever tell us we are going in the wrong direction when we feel less than comfortable, preferably very comfortable. No. If our search is for still more spiritual growth and that is all, we must pass through the contrary to peace. Take it to the bank. The bank being our heart, our Soul, our body and our brain.
We are being walked down the road to detachment...detaching from self, becoming Oned.
The reasoning mind was built to resist that which it cannot own, but it can be brought to acceptance: We welcome, we pray thank you, we hug it and kiss it and let it go.
The sacred art of acceptance...say welcome, pray thank you.
Thank you.
