Thought for the Day

If you have had as many spiritual teachings, listened to as many tapes, followed as many disciplines as we have you might think that you ought to have it together. You ought to be able to take life’s bumps with grace. In fact, according to many teachings, you ought not to have any bumps, for you ought to focus on what you want, keep your mind on the task at hand, ask, and all good things will come to you.

Well, I think it works more this way:

Yes, we ought to keep a positive attitude. Yes, a strong belief will carry you though. Yes, thoughts create, and yes, indeed, go for what you want, but there is another side.

You have probably heard this story of the person talking to God. Says the person: “In looking back I see two sets of footprints, one set is mine, the other is yours. We walk side by side. However in times of trouble, I see only one of prints. Does that mean you have deserted me?”

“No, during those times, I was carrying you.”

I think when we have done the action, when we have struggled, thought, made every effort to find an answer, that we do not need to harangue ourselves that we are not doing it right, that we weren’t focusing enough. We aren’t positive enough. We aren’t holding fast to the principles. It is during those times that the great spirit–our great subconscious—call it what you will—springs forth, and carries us.
