Be Like The River

      

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Dr. Stewart Bitkoff   In large part, your suffering is caused by your resistance to what is- refusing to accept and submit to what is before you- that is the pain- your resistance- go further. Do something about the situation- take positive action or accept it as the Will or Design of the Universe. You are not the first to think these thoughts and struggle with this- it has been said by others and in many ways. For you it is a lesson that has to be repeated many times. Remember what Amjed said- ‘Your job is to be like the river. Some will come to drink, some to swim and wash, others to dump their garbage and some to travel your waters. Your job is to keep flowing- giving what each needs and keep moving.’ The river gives, does not refuse and keeps flowing: accepting and surrendering to what the traveler and the situation require. -SB
