Very soon you get busy again. Work, relationships and obligations create a new set of demands. You see your life shrinking under the weight of its pressures, and you wake up sensing the anxiety in your body, the spreading fear that you are not able to be yourself.
Through your daily practice notice how those tasks are not who you are. Moment by moment you take care of the work that needs to be done, but your true self is beyond all this. The obligations cannot control the expanding of your heart, the realizations of your original inner wisdom, and the presence of your true self. Remember to refresh yourself, to reach within to that inner source of freedom, space and love.
Take a moment to reflect:
Clouds coming and going,
The pressures of daily life
Cannot control your true self.
You are the mountain
Watching the clouds coming and going,
You are already solid and free.
Juan Velasco
