Abandoning intent Right intent Is no intent. When all is perfect, whole, Just as it should be – Only gratitude Remains. What intent can arise?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 So Jeff, I spent my teen age years in Portland, Maine. Loved the coast. Had a girl friend whose father was chauffeur to an old lady who owned an estate that included a lovely private rocky cove. Great place to swim and neck. We were protected by my friend's cocker spaniel who would warn of approach. Of course none of that ever happened. I must have dreamed it. Love, Sam Hi Anna, Yosy. - Papajeff Thursday, October 15, 2009 6:41 PM Re: What is I?/Sam Hello, Sam -Just back to the toasty warmth of Florida beaches,after a few days on the cold floors (not tocomplain) of Maine.I read of an awakened teacher who only offered one teachingthat she instructed her aspirants to repeat:"I have no complaints whatsoever."Namaste,Jeff , "Sam Pasiencier" <sampas wrote:>> Good morning Harsha.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hello Papajeffji:-) This story first appeared years ago around Thanksgiving. It actually inspired me to write my own little story at the time. The first part of her advice was to repeat... "Thank you for everything," followed by "I have no complaints whatsoever." Sounds to me like a nice conceptualization of surrender. And yes, Sam, gratitude is truly a window to gaze into the eye of peace!!! So nice to hear from you on this list...
