I had a wonderful experience last night. I pray that it repeats
\nand deepens. I would make it so, but another is involved and has
\na choice.<\/p>\n

It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself
\nup to the original cause of one’s being. Do not delude yourself by
\nimagining such a source to be some God outside you. One’s source is
\nwithin oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek
\nthe source and merge in it.
\n– Sri Ramana Maharshi<\/p>\n
Question: What stops me from enjoying my life more?<\/p>\n
Answer: You have habitual patterns, like a number of people, where you
\nfocus on the negative, you get involved in the negative, and you get
\nfascinated by it.<\/p>\n
That’s one of the elements that negativity has on our consciousness –
\nfascination. It has an attraction, a glamour, and it holds our
\nattention. It’s allowed to do that, to have energy that our
\nconsciousness responds to, but we’re larger than whatever the
\nnegativity is. So we have the ability to transcend it. Always, that
\nability is there. The more you know that ability and direct it to
\novercome, the less the negativity impacts on you. You may find that
\nyou’re simply directing your energy into what serves you, into who you
\nare.<\/p>\n

Hatred of evil does not diminish evil, it increases it. If you are losing a tug-of-war with a tiger, give him the rope before he gets to your arm. You can always buy a new rope. If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us. Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don’t. A sage doesn’t reveal the Way, not because he keeps it secret, but The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes. See, that’s all you’re thinking about, is winning. You’re confirming You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
