“Mental
equanimity means placing one’s mind on God. Setting one’s mind on God
is like putting down your baggage on the train’s luggage rack and
relaxing along the journey. But the mind prefers to carry the burden of
the baggage because leaving it on the rack requires trust. At the
nucleus of the conditioned mind is fear, and one of the main aspects of
fear is control. The ways of God are mysterious, and it’s not always
possible to understand what God has planned for you. So one creates many
expectations about one’s life and hopes that God will meet them. Yet
only God understands our hearts and knows what we really need. This is
why we must become aware of our lack of trust that has caused us to
carry such a heavy burden.”
Sri Prem Baba
