When you switch on the light, the current flows. It flows strongly because the wire that conducts it has very low RESISTANCE, allowing the energy to flow. And so the light shines brightly ! When we apply this principle to our own lives, we can see that when we resist something , our energy is not flowing ...
This "non-resistance” is just another word for acceptance. Through acceptance we can learn how to become “one” , united with all of the energy at our disposal. If we resist anything, we continue to create energetic blockages within our systems, and we perpetuate the myth that someone or something is against us ! When we allow everything to be as it is, without judgement , resistance or fight, we align ourselves with our true nature. Simply put, through acceptance we become one with ourselves, not through knowledge, not through practices, not through denial, not through fight.Accept the world, accept your emotions, accept your body, accept everything !
And then - compassion will arise in you. Compassion for your anger, compassion for your sadness, compassion for your brother, compassion for your enemy, compassion for the your past struggles – but now you know that the resistance ITSELF CAUSES EVEN MORE PAIN. What you resist persists ! It makes it so much easier when you accept. When you are against the world, against that person, against your own body, there is no real happiness, and you have forgotten that it is the world itself that is being transformed. Accept that we are corrupt, we are greedy, we have lost the run of ourselves. Accept that we need leadership, we need each other, we need to love and be loved. Accept it all – and there you will find the peace you’re looking for. |
"Come, come, whoever you are:
Wanderer or worshipper or lover of learning ... It does not matter.
Our is not a caravan of despair.
Come,
Even if you have broken your vow,
A thousand times.
Come, come, yet again, come."
Jalaluddin Rumi
