"Do you imagine the universe is agitated?
Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars.
This practice should answer the question.
The superior person settles her mind as the universe
settles the stars in the sky.
By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she
calms it.
Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her
mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the
night sky."
I so seldom allow myself peace. I want it--crave it, even--but I often feel so far from it that to get there hardly seems worth the effort. I struggle with the notion that I'm not worth the effort. This is my daily moment to struggle against that. Someday, I'll change it for good.
