Most of us have figured out where we’re going right now, but haven’t figured out how to get there. It turns out you don’t have to figure out how to get there because if you just keep in mind where you’re going, you get there anyway.
Most of us are are full of all kinds of stuff. Our heads are full of… “Hay and rags,” like they say in “My Fair Lady.” We get caught in our stuff over and over again. Around me now, everybody’s playing a new game of stuff.
See, I don’t know who I am ‘being’ at this moment. I don’t understand all of the divine plan at every level. I’m like a water boy on a team. I don’t understand how it all is, but I figured out that I don’t have to understand it. Rather, what I have to do is ‘be’ it, and the more I center, the more I meditate, and the more I calm myself, the more I can ‘hear’ how it all is. Even if I don’t ‘hear’ how it all is, the more I start to just ‘be’ how it all is, so if there is an uneven place in me, all I have to do is work on myself. I begin to concentrate on my acts, move to the center, center, center, and center myself, my thoughts.
As I give up attachment to knowing how it all comes out, or of knowing how it all works, then the actions come into harmony.
…Most of us are right in the middle, we’re halfway between being pulled by the world’s desires and where the desires have fallen away. We are right in between.
-Ram Dass
