When to and When Not to

I think that part of my blueprint is having the thought that I have to scramble as much as I can in this life to become better.

 I can hear Gurudev saying, There’s no place to go, there’s nothing to do, and it takes everything you’ve got.  So there is no scramble; there’s no place to go, and there’s nothing to do.  But there is a scramble that takes everything you’ve got.  Both are true; it’s one of those paradoxes.  And if you go into either pole and polarize there, then you’ll be getting stuck.

It’s intuitive. You have to know when to scramble and when not to scramble. You have to know when to step up and when to step back, you have to know when to speak out and when to be silent. So when you listen and you’re told that it’s time to work, you have to get to work.  And when it’s time to go into the process of digestion and integration, you go into integration, and when it’s time to go down and keep a really low profile and get lots of rest, that’s what you do.  So it’s all of those at various times, and we are divinely guided in that place.
