So Much Easier…

Posted by Paul Reynolds on Aug 26, 2023 in Blog, Western Insight | Comments Off on So Much Easier…

Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize
the fleeting nature of all experiences and that
the world cannot give you anything of
value. You then continue to meet people, to be
involved in experiences and activities, but without
the wants and fears of the egoic self.

That is to say, you no longer demand that a situation,
person, place, or event should satisfy you or make
you happy. Its passing and imperfect nature is
allowed to be.

And the miracle is that when you are no longer
placing an impossible demand on it, every situation,
person, place, or event becomes not
only satisfying but also more harmonious, more
peaceful.
