Can you accept the is-ness of this moment,
and not confuse it with a story the mind has created around it?
Surrender comes when you no longer ask:
why is this happening to me?
Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation, is
concealed a deeper good and within every disaster is contained the
seed of Christ.
…accepting the seemingly unacceptable,
and thus finding the peace that surpasses all understanding
Acceptance of the unacceptable,
is the greatest source of praise in this world.
When you fully accept that you don’t know, you give up
struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind,
and that is when the greater intelligence can operate through you.
Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand,
and becoming comfortable with not knowing.
Surrender, one could say is the inner transition from resistance to acceptance,
from no to yes.
When you surrender your sense of self shifts from being identified
with the reaction or mental judgment
to being the space around the reaction or judgment.
It is a shift from identification with form, thought or the emotion
to being and recognizing yourself as that which has no form.
Spacious Awareness.
Whatever you accept completely will take you to peace,
including the acceptance that you cannot accept that you are in resistance.
Leave life alone
Let it be.
~Eckhart Tolle~
This was the perfect thing for me to read today. Thanks!
Yes, it hits the spot for me, too. It’s from a YouTube video which I re-listened to again today.
Thought you might like this, I just saw it on FB seems to be a theme today.
There is nothing to become. You are already that, it is already the case. Stop running after shadows. Sit silently and be. Sitting silently, doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. ~ Osho
