He whom the world troubles not, and who troubles not the world, who is free from the emotions of joy, wrath, and fear, is dear to Me. The man who is guileless, pure, upright, unconcerned, free from distress of mind, who renounces every enterprise and worships Me, is dear to Me. He who has neither delight nor aversion, who neither mourns nor desires, who renounces good and evil fortune, and worships Me, is dear to Me. He who is the same to friend and foe, and also in honour and dishonour, who is the same in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, who is wholly free from attatchment; To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that man is dear to Me.
Bhagavad Gita 12:15-19

I strive, I know it is the right direction, I fail. I've notice that I'm a little closer, so I work even harder, for now I know surrender is the way.
Blessings to you Thomas.
I appreciate the effort it takes to filter all of the many wonderful mystical writings and post them here to the delight of those who can only sip from the ocean.
You never fail unless you stop trying.. Existence is a school that uses pain and pleasure to teach you which road is correct to walk...Watch your thoughts, you will find that almost all pain appears because of your belief that the ego is you.. refuse to allow the false ego to give pain to you by observing that it is trying to do so.. Continue with your studies and you will succeed, as it is impossible for God to Fail........namaste, thomas
