Do what you think you need to do, but any doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a muddy state. And as long as the mind is muddy, the view will never be clear…
It may be better if you did less in your life if what you are doing is muddy like in a pond; only when the mud settles will the water be clear. So it is with the mind, when it’s muddy it’s stirred up and it’s very difficult to see what’s really happening. This mud can be identified as what you think is needed to make you complete; you see when the mud is settled the mind is clear. When the mind becomes stirred up it becomes muddy and all kinds of stories are created about what’s needed to make you complete. Reading another book may be used, another 12 step meeting, another person to help, losing another pound, more money, and on an on. So many things are used that cause a muddy mind and the truth is none of it is truly needed because you’re complete as you will ever be right now; in the clarity of a settled mind is completeness.
Stories are created to make the mind muddy and it’s because of the conditioning that’s in place. Clarity will never be as long as one thinks there is something needed to do that will make you complete. Doing only keeps the mind from settling; the more one does the more muddy things are. Do whatever you think you need to do, but understand there will never be clarity until there’s no mud. Be the light, be the instrument to spread love, be whatever you want, but this doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a muddy state, and as long as it’s muddy the view will never be clear…
