How do we practice effort that is directed towards freedom from suffering and brings us emotional strength and balance? How do we awaken "natural effort" that leads to effortlessness?
Can we relinquish our preference of picking and choosing? Can we be with pheonomena...whatever it is, just as it is? Can we begin to see and realize the true nature of things in 'every kind of birth'? Can we wander into the natural state of the equipoise of an undisturbed mind?
Mind is like a substance – it can be made heavy and gritty or spacious and smooth based on how it’s inclined. Incline towards calming and soothing to release stuck energies and release mind’s natural goodness. Intention is something you can have some choice over – you can tune your mind in to the depraved or to the blessed. You can make your mind a refuge.
