Adversity.

[Guest guest]

The Gita illustrates at one point what yoga

brings about, the evenness of mind that is not effected

by anything, that one remains the same in joy,

sorrow, pleasure and pain...etc. If Sadhana is working,

Then one should be able to cope with even what the

normal mind would consider "the worst". This has roots

in Faith, which is far beyond belief. It has roots,

in self discipline, which is far beyond, avoidance

of situation. One needs to know, and Trust

completely in Lords' omnipresence. One needs to know there

is nothing separate from HIM. Which means, if you

are defeated by words/situation/action then go to HIM

for strength, fullfillment and answers on How to

respond to your defeat. If more spiritual folks were

prone to turn inwards instead of to only the experience

they have, and be solicitors of information, rather

than soul seekers, on the outside, but seekers on the

inside. Then there would be less question of how to

"deal" with anything...as far as obstacles go. We are

given Obstacles to affirm our Love and Trust in HIM. If

one cannot even *see His whereabouts...which by the

way is everywhere. Then one surely cannot pass the

test. And this is not a bad thing. because over a

period of *time, the aspirant will gain the awareness of

thier own doubts and inequities...if the are a

receptive witnesses to His Omnipresence. And gain the

wisdom to know without doubt, or inequity of what it is

thier personage needs to learn. If, by chance, the test

of *time, i will go so far to say Jubilee or time to

walk through the fire, presents itself as a lone

trouble maker coming to test patience and virtue....would

you pass? <br>Do not underestimate the Lord and His

Works. In fact be Humble so as you do not miss the

Occasion and pass it off as an annoyance. <br>If one is

busy looking at another he scarcely sees his self,

then he is a fool, if one can look at another and see

his own self, then he is a wise

man.<br><br>Love,<br>"He who meditates on the interconnectedness of all

beings, finds himself separate from None."
