An Exercise In Enlightment

When you try to change what you dislike in yourself by fighting it you merely push it underground. If you accept it, it will surface and evaporate. What you resist will stubbornly persist. Consider the example of Jesus, who sets himself the task of moving mountains and battles with exasperating foes. Yet even in his anger he is loving—he combines a keen desire for change with an acceptance of reality as it is. Try to be like him. Start with feelings you dislike.
