And if you're looking around right now, ungrateful, unimpressed, close that body's eyes, and feel what God has brought you to.  You've come to Love.  That prayer you've been praying,  you're realizing it's been answered,  that God has been here,  that you've been saved,  again.  Every time.  So stop worrying.  I Love you,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Look at how far God has brought you." - @holstrength  Be patient if you can, and from sour grapes will come something sweet. Rumi: Tbe Big Red Book Morning breeze, bring news of beauty, but slowly, please. Let the fresh fragrance stay. "Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming." "The universe was created out of joy and that is why you find temporary joy in the fleeting things of the world. Without joy life is an ordeal. So you must attain to that great Joy that has brought forth the world and is the essence of your own being. This is exactly what is discovered when the mind becomes still." "Q: I find concentration difficult. M: Go on practicing. Your concentration must come as easily as the breath. Fix yourself on one thing and try to hold onto it. All will come right. Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts. The dissipated mind is a sign of its weakness. By constant meditation it gains strength, i.e. it gives up its weakness for stray thoughts. When attention is directed towards objects and intellect, the mind is aware only of these things. That is our present state. But when we attend to the Self within, we become conscious of It alone. It is therefore all a matter of attention. Our mind has been attending to external things for so long, that the latter have enslaved it and drag it hither and thither. If the mind wanders, we must at once realize we are not the body and inquire, 'Who am I?' and the mind must be brought back to realize the Self. Thus all evils are destroyed and happiness is realized. Absence of mental activity is solitude." - Nisargadatta Maharaj, Conscious Immortality, It's All A Matter of Attention
