“The heart’s natural love is the principal requisite to attain a holy life. When this love, the heavenly gift of Nature, appears in the heart, it removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state; and, invigorating the vital powers, expels all foreign matters-–the germs of diseases-–by natural ways (perspiration and so forth). It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind, and enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature.”
~ Swami Sri Yukteswar, The Holy Science
You know, my friend, your body knows how to be well, and it wants to be well. Wellness is its natural state. But when your thoughts keep you from your heart, from the source of love, the flow of well-being is disrupted. It’s in this way that your mind acts as your worst enemy.
You can relax and trust that all will be well when Love’s at the helm. So let your heart take the lead and turn your mind back into your best friend.
If this is difficult for you, then it’s time for class. Get back in the hot room and hand over the reins to the teacher. Let go of control and let Love flow!
