Your spirit is always with you, and you can use it in any way you want, it is inexhaustible. It is the infinite gateway to mysteries within mysteries. If you attempt to fix a picture of spirit in your mind you will lose it. Why not be content with simply experiencing it?
An exhausting situation can be caused by not having enough or being overwhelmed by having too much. If you are stuck in an exhausting situation, discover the cause, and seek a solution. Merely complaining and being resentful will only make the situation worse.
