Don’t resist what is Worry, suffering, pain...is in the resistance itself In non-resistance, in acceptance, in surrender Is freedom Try it Don’t make it an intellectual understanding Next time you worry, suffer, and feel pain Become aware that it arises not from the situation But your resistance to it Move into this awareness In becoming aware of your resistance You automatically take a step away from it, and the pain Try it Don’t make it an intellectual understanding If you are unhappy you are resisting something The deeper the resistance the stronger the pain Move into this awareness You cannot be aware and in resistance and the quicker you can move into awareness of your resistance the quicker does resistance and its angst fade and only as you slip out of the witness mode of awareness does it all come back again and you are flung from the audience seat into the hurly burly of the play Try it Don’t make it an intellectual understanding Move into this awareness on a constant basis-be the witness let this be from where You operate
