RESTING MIND

Too much-ness of thought the Western world applauds. Busy, busy mind. Out think the other. It’s a competitive quest. No time to ease thought. Active, whirling mind. Who can slow the racing stream? No peaceful tempo. An inner Spirit opens in some a new way to annul the false. A kind voice is heard calling one to inward turn to cleanse, clear the mind. Anxiety stops. Concerns for tomorrow cease. Like a hand holds ours. In a deeper space does the Truth originate. Gifts of grace bestowed. This refined level offers real, profound insights. The old soul has died. Advances are made by receptive pioneers who can rest the mind.   Look only to the eternal Silence, to spiritual intuition, guidance, and vision. Let the rest of the world go by on its headlong, weary course. Your wings take you to a different, higher, refined and rarefied atmosphere.   Those who are living the ego-life are fighting or competing with one another, trying to supersede or be better than another, richer or more beautiful.… The ego-man, the man of earth, is always asserting himself in the world: discussing, arguing, striving, competing, fighting. The contemplative, the man of God, may be out in the world doing whatever his work may be, but mentally and spiritually he is at home within his own being. The contemplative does not withdraw from an active life; in fact, he may become increasingly active. Joel S.
