With each morning’s awakening try to live through the day in harmony with the Higher Self. “Try” is the battle-cry taught by the Teachers to each pupil. Naught else is expected of you. One who does his best does all that can be asked. There is a moment when even a Buddha ceases to be a sinning mortal and takes his first step toward Buddhahood. (Blavatsky Collected Writings, Vol. 12, Esoteric Instructions)
----------------
In the mornings I have been doing exactly that - trying. I may be forgetful when it comes to thinking positive thoughts or showing gratitude to the Universe but some mornings I have succeeded in remembering. I feel that if I work with the Universe then the Universe will work with me. We get out of something what we put into it. As above so below. Have you heard this koan below?
"A new student approached the Zen master and asked how he should prepare himself for his training. "Think of me a bell," the master explained. "Give me a soft tap, and you will get a tiny ping. Strike hard, and you'll receive a loud, resounding peal."
OK, Universe. I'm pounding on that bell with my thoughts and I'm putting feeling into them. Hope You can hear me. Thanks for listening. (Since gratitude is important.)
