The resistance of passions, what will it bring? Happiness, peace, contentment?
If the mind is always running how can we catch it in the right place to bring forth the fruits of our thoughts?
We don't know if we can get to a place where we will be solvent or enlightened...whole and complete...
Most people are happy struggling along, living with pain and suffering looking for not the whole answer but partial answers to life...
We are not willing to "give it all up" in search of the true path or the right way. Therefore, we live as though there is a trade off of ups and downs which results in give and take and therefore we have instability. So the balance becomes the art and how we maintain our peace and sanity in the midst of the chaos is what differentiates the crazies from the peaceful. But then again aren't we all a bit crazy!
Lost in the world of our wants, needs, desires and so on?
SO what will bring us to a place of fulfillment? Do we need to let go entirely. Not each, not drink, not talk, not walk and so forth? Can we find this peace all the time or only sometimes and if it is sometimes is it only sometimes that we get it and sometimes we don't. Or do we have it all the time but have few tools to access it and experience it? If we were solvent, enlightened would we have needs, wants, desires or would the universe provide for us what it is that we need just because it knows what it is we need and provides like a mother to a child.
The answers cannot be found in the immediate but in the continuum of life. Coming and going, giving and taking...loving and hating, compassion and anger, the balance is somewhere in the middle. I pray to find it, I seek it, without it I am nothing, with it I am nothing. God give me peace!
