Lesson 310

Only simplicity of character, a mind void of frowardness and absolute content, whatever may befall.

Excerpt

Tell me what are the difficulties in the way of faith; neither abstract meditation is necessary, nor sacrifice, prayer, penance nor fasting; only simplicity of character, a mind void of frowardness and absolute content, whatever may befall.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Ramayana of Tulsidas, Rama — revered as God made man — teaches that faith requires neither great feats nor complicated practices: a simple heart, without obstinacy, content with whatever comes, is enough to draw near to Him. Today, when faced with a setback, try to let go of your stubbornness and simply say "it is fine this way", then notice the peace this brings you.
