The senses have been conditioned by attraction to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant; [we] should not be ruled by them; they are obstacles in the path. - Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita) - from Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By," October 2
My following note, written in 2018 - "I am becoming unruled and it does not yet feel pleasant...thank you."
The conditioning of my senses continue being unruled...only now I am mostly comforted, usually at peace, often happy, and...who's kidding whom?...completely surprised. More than a few "this ain't me!" changes have happened within me/without me, and I pay my respects to the Father within who does the work.
I know for certain sure that I will stray, that I will be returned, that I am being guided, no longer guarded, and there it is, the great get up and shout alleluia! news. And thank you.
Thank you.
