Welcoming and resisting
Do
you welcome all that comes to you or do you resist it? If you cannot
resist anything, you cannot welcome anything! You cannot resist
everything and you cannot welcome everything! You don't welcome all
thoughts that come to your mind. When you welcome a thought, it means
you find it good and act on it. If you act on all thoughts that come to
your mind, you will end up in a mental hospital or in prison. So, you
resist or ignore some thoughts and welcome other thoughts. You need
discrimination in life. Welcoming and resisting is a swing in life.
Welcoming is essential for expansion and growth, and resistance is
essential for maintenance.Audience: But what you resist persists!
Guruji: If you resist a cold it does not persist! If there is no resistance in your body you cannot survive. Your body resists something and welcomes something.
Where the resistance is weak, the persistence happens. A weak resistance makes the opposition persist. A strong resistance erases the opposition. Strong resistance leads to valour, power and samadhi (equanimity). It brings in you the strength of a warrior. Nothing can tempt you, nothing can obstruct you. Then the victory is gained without fighting. Where there is strong resistance or total welcome, the victory is gained without any fighting.
