“if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”

Allow your life to unfold naturally. Know that it too is a vessel of perfection. Just as you breathe in and breathe out, there is a time for being ahead and a time for being behind; a time for being in motion and a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous and a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe and a time for being in danger.

Living by Natural Law This verse speaks of a natural law that’s unaffected by ego. The message? You’re not in charge—you never have been, and you never will be. So you’re advised to let go of any ideas you have about controlling anything or anyone, including yourself.

Post this advice by Naomi Long Madgett where you can read it, and be constantly reminded of your desire to live naturally:   I wouldn’t coax the plant if I were you. Such watchful nurturing may do it harm. Let the soil rest from so much digging And wait until it’s dry before you water it. The leaf’s inclined to find its own direction; Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.   Much growth is stunted by too much prodding, Too eager tenderness. The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.
