Do whatever you think you need to do, but any doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a state of agitation, and as long as one is making ripples in the pond by doing, the view will never be clear…
It may be better if you did less in your life if what you are doing is making ripples in the pond; it’s only when the ripples settles that the water is clear. So it is with the mind, when there are ripples it becomes agitated and it’s very difficult to see what’s really happening. This ripples can be identified as what you think you need to make you complete; you see when the pond is settled the water (mind) is clear. When the mind becomes agitated it becomes choppy and all kinds of stories are created about what’s needed to make you complete. Reading another book may be used, another 12 step meeting, another person to help, losing another pound, more money, and on an on. So many things are used that cause ripples in the pond (mind) and the truth is none of them are truly needed because you are complete as you will ever be right now; in the clarity of a settled mind is completeness.
Stories are created to make ripples in the so called pond and it’s because of the conditioning that’s in place. Clarity will never be as long as one thinks there is something needed to do that will make you complete. Doing only keeps the water (mind) from settling and the more one does the more agitated things are. Do whatever you think you need to do, but understand there will never be clarity until there’s no need to do anything. Be the light, be the instrument to spread love, be whatever you want, but this doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a state of agitation, and as long as ripples are created your view will never be clear…
