Our life’s path is not prefabricated, it doesn’t already exist. The path is the moment-by-moment evolution of our thoughts and our emotions. This is encouraging because our source of wisdom is whatever is going to happen to us today, whatever is happening in this very instant.
If you strive and have selfish desires, then you will only feel frustration. If you have no expectations, you will feel at peace. In order to achieve this way of living we must suspend everyday thinking and use the part of the mind not used for everyday thought.
Greed for spirituality is no different than greed for material wealth. It is self-centered and dualistic thinking and an obstacle to your attainment. If you desire spirituality, practice high awareness, undiscriminating virtue, and be of service to all of humanity.
After something is complete and before a new cycle gets started, there are a myriad of possibilities. There is an opportunity, when things are not yet formed, to influence what they are going to become through care and consideration; this provides real motivation for innovative opportunities.
Quote: Nature regulates itself, without any need of our bright ideas.
