Spiritual Stinginess
We
try to turn a profit in practice—to get something from it. We try to
get better. We try to get enlightenment. We try to get seen for doing it
right. What are we being stingy with here? Wholehearted surrender to
the present moment or to what is. Think how stingy we are with that.
Think how tightly we hold on. We also imagine that in practicing, what
we will “get” will be ours—which is, of course, the greatest delusion of
all.
