This meditation seems to sum up some the energy involved― to remaining INSIDE when the distractions are seemingly endless and trying at best―shieldinmg these disturbances does nothing other than make us chronic controllers, correct?
Day 139
Meditations from the Mat
For those who have come to grow, the whole world is a garden.
For those who have come to learn, the whole world is a
university. For those who have come to know God,
the whole world is a prayer mat.
M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
“Relax, and take this in before you practice today. Breathe into these words, this idea. Feel the difference. Most of the time, when I come to the mat, the whole world is a place to confirm my low self-esteem. I come to the mat to strive, to control, to win. Coming to the mat to win, I lose. What if I came to the mat to grow, to learn, and to know God?”
