Enjoy the Ride!

     
You can not satisfy your hunger or your thirst vicariously by someone else’s eating or drinking: you must find  truth from your own experience.
Reading all the books in the world and all other exercises of intellect cannot give you true wisdom: only the truth you experience beyond shadow of doubt in the depths of your own self can do that.
The perfection that lies beyond and behind the mind can only be known when the mind stops.
Sometimes, only going through suffering, grief or despair can teach one the value of acceptance and surrender.
I am a fool.
It’s incredible how stupid and stubborn is the habit of clinging to the ego-mind complex.
My life caught a-hold of me like a terrier grabbing a cornered rat and shook me into awakening.
Not just once; many, many times…over the six decades of my existence.
It took a long time for the penny to drop.
So don’t be impatient; don’t give up too soon.
Stick with your sadhana, your process.
All will turn out right in the end: in the way best for you and in the time best for your ripening.
Grace has it all under perfect and total control.
Once you finally figure this out and let go,
There’s nothing left to do except coast down the flow.
