This is a hard lesson for most of us, for we are not conditioned to believe that we can solve our problems with people and with the world by an inner adjustment. We are inclined to think “If my wife would just stop nagging… if my boss would just give me a break… if the weather were not as bad as it usually is… if this or that or the other would happen, then I would be happy.” Jesus is emphasizing that what comes to you is what your consciousness has drawn to you.
