What Is ‘Going With The Flow’?

Whatever comes our way is due to our previous decisions that cause our re-actions now. It’s our programmed mindset, which is called karma in Sanskrit. Karma is showing us our judgemental re-actions which just create further karma, maintaining our fixated view of life and therefore perpetuating conflict and suffering. 

Whether pleasant or unpleasant, every situation is potentially our teacher to release us from our habitual, limited way of thinking. 

When people assume that there’s only one way to live, they suffer, and think that change isn’t possible. They go up and down, round and round, following adopted ideas. Realisation is working in the opposite direction to this conventional, not-so-merry-go-round

In ‘going with the flow’, life qualities of tolerance, perseverance, discipline, morality, concentration and wisdom develop. These refined qualities let us off the merry not-so-merry-go-round, and we become a witness, rather than witless. 🙂
