The material mind, home of the ego, legislates for self only while masquerading as our benefit. The purpose of our egoic mind is to get, to add to, to build up. Its ever outward focus, looks good, sounds better, is motivated by comparisons.
Outward neither allows nor accepts inward...an inadvertent glance inward calls our self-censor to the forefront to cut short any deeper look-see.
It is acknowledged that personal suffering is all but required to cause most of us to seek spiritual help. Many, many sufferers attest to the fact that their worst life experience brought the God of their understanding into reality.
It takes many years of seeking still more spiritual growth before we realize it was our prayer (dear God, please take this from me) that, to our reasoning mind, went unacknowledged and brought us to complete surrender, i.e., to Whatever...now known as God's will, God's way.
