i'd like to free myself from the shackles of a corrupted mind. yogananda is right to call us sense-slaves and, at times, it can feel like a curse.
Everything has its natural course Eric... the natural world has its pains and set backs and for this reason prods us on. I know... easy to say but not so easy to do. Both have to develop patience and appreciation for every little progress-by grace-that is given to us. You and I seem to have many simultaneous lessons... hmmm interesting...as though reflecting some of the same frustrations for some important recognition?
Perhaps what may be more helpful to you as it has been to myself is the idea that mistakes and setbacks maybe just the medication the guru doctor gives us to learn something else... compassion and understanding for the slow evolution of those around us. And... just what others have gone thru waiting patiently for us to ‘get it.’
Anyhow, just some ideas 💡 that your comment above solicited from the vaults of pea mind here…ha ha.
P.S. Dear God; be more tempting than temptation itself.
