Feel at Ease

(Venus enters Cancer.)

“Whatever is meant to be, will be. No matter how hard we work to prevent it. Whatever is not meant to be, will not be. No matter how hard we work to realize it.” — Ramana Maharshi

We find comfort and abide in these words only if we are interested in true peace.

They point us toward the fact that we are essentially not in the kind of control we think we are.

What we are in control of is if we want to swim against a current stronger than we are, or easily and merrily glide down the stream of our life’s journey.

Trust is required to allow this type of understanding. Trust that we will be OK no matter where the stream takes us, or what it shows us.

Ramana invites us to occupy the present moment and avoid pushing for particular outcomes, as we do so in vein.

Accept everything as it comes and goes. Give thanks for what you receive and what you don’t receive.

Feel at ease.
