Mental Residue

Residue: a small amount of something that remains after the main part has gone. 

We may have come to a conclusion about our reality, and have even got our emotions are under control, but we still feel something isn’t right. This is a residue in the mind from the past – in other words, karma.

Until enlightenment, we won’t feel completely right. 🙂 The thing to remember is that we have changed, and the main part of our dissatisfaction has gone. We should be grateful for that.

Not feeling completely right and so seeing everything as pointless is a misunderstanding of the process. We just have to grin and bear it,  accepting a difficult or unpleasant situation without complaining, because we know there’s nothing we can do to make things better.

This residue is the final part of our path.
