A Deep Rest

A Deep Rest


You can't rest when you have to do something that you can't do. And you can't rest when you feel you have to be someone you're not.

You're not required to do what you can't do. You won't be asked to give what you can't give. Nothing is expected of you that you can't provide.

Doing service involves doing what you can do. And no one wants you to be someone you're not. This realization brings you deep rest.

You can't rest if you are over-ambitious or lethargic. Both are opposed to good rest. A lazy person will toss and turn at night and be "rest-less," and an over-ambitious person will burn inside.

Even a slight feeling that the Divine is with you brings deep rest. And prayer, love, and meditation are all flavors of deep rest. This rest brings you closer to your nature and allows your talents to manifest.
