It happens. And it always does. Thinking about this. We have to realize that we can not in any way control other people's way of thinking nor try to control any situation at any given time.
For someone who haven't come across Abe's teachings this will be hard for you to take in.
I did for some time took it badly. But I however agreed to the idea, that one of the reason why people go around in circles and find themselves stuck is because they try too hard to control others.
Well we can't.
I am in fact in a state where I am in a vivid life situation. Where I feel dazed, tired and overwhelmed. I did, cry a whole deal the other night. I let myself be for a few hours. I feel that I am not connected and I don't know what to do. I was so desperate to control my situation. Everything that I have planned and wanted seems to be not working my way. Heaving a big sigh, I remember Abe saying, "You are where you are."
For a moment there I knew I was going upstream. I was paddling desperately against the flow. I feel lost and betrayed.
Let go. It's reality. It's contrast. Change is always ever so present in our life.
And so I did. Let go. Let's see what happens next.
I'll still do my job. Without the struggle of it. I won't even fight it. I will no longer beg for them to spare me. I know the Universe will take care of me. I am where I am. And I feel good.
Reality eats you up they say. Well, I say, if you let it eat you up. What I mean is, it is your way of thinking. How you handle your feeling about the situation. I have met a lot of people, when placed in a situation that is not pleasing to them often get stuck on remembering how bad it was to be there. And still focusing about it.
I am not a guru. But I will be. :P I am focusing on my spiritual growth and to making peace with myself.
The real business I believe is being at peace with yourself and finding inner joy wherever you may be.
