“If
you find yourself stuck at a certain point, suffering and controlling,
this means that you are under the dominion of a force called
‘obstinacy’. Obstinacy is a distortion of willpower. In other words, it
is willpower that is being used by fear and hatred. There is an
insistence on accomplishing what the ego determines. So, I invite you to
relax and surrender to the guidance of the mystery. Maybe you’ll have a
nice surprise.”
Sri Prem Baba
