The mind is elusive. It is not easy to transform it into an instrument of peace and love
Constantly the mind revolts against things that are unpleasant and constantly looks forward to things that are good. This preferential attitude is one of the Cardinal inimical covering of the mind. How do you tell the mind it is ok to not have money? Or to have bad health? Or ok for someone to hate you? Sue you?
How do you get rid of the instant fear in those situations?
What do you do when these things happen? You ask people for guidance. You pray. You do mantra. You will even turn to those who you did not like. You cry. Your mind has no solace until it hears a soothesayer – someone who says it will be ok. You want to believe that person. Why because that is the only thing that will comfort your mind
Do you see how difficult the mind is?
How do you change the intrinsic nature of mind? Hearing theory of karma might give justification but still the mind won’t like it
You can turn to a guru or saint or God. Nothing changes the mind
What do you do?
