Cutting off a particular train of thought is like cauterizing a vein; the flow must seek another path. As dissipating thoughts are continuously “cauterized” through conscious discrimination, the energy of Self-realization grows.

The false self pretends to do spiritual work but on its time frame and self-serving agenda, and without surrender. The soul’s way is to lead with the peace that prevails, not the aggression that tires and annoys.

Through serving God, or the highest good, we step into the stream of grace. With personal attachment to the results of our actions, we step out of it, removing ourselves from the flow of guidance and inspiration continually available to the surrendered heart.

To pray wholeheartedly, pray without attachment to the outcome. Be completely willing to follow divine will. Refrain from wandering into forgetfulness of God’s graceful support by being attached to particular results.

The feeling of overwhelm is more related to desire than it is to action. The same body can fight hard, kicking feet and thrashing arms to stay afloat in water or relax and stay afloat effortlessly.

Impatience, frustration, and irritability are all shades of anger related to thwarted desire. If we practice imperturbability, we short circuit the karmic trap and free ourselves from present pain and future unhappiness.
