Bringing the Ship Safely Back to Shore

Everyone who is guided by the ego will eventually run out of steam. You start with your ideals, but somehow along the way you lose your compass. It is like a boat drifting in the dark, stormy sea. You know that something has gone adrift, but your map is not equipped to deal with the confusing situation. As you search for a way out, you find that the fuel supply is depleted as well. So you have little choice but to set sails instead and let Her do the steering. Relax, while you were planning your own course you had no idea that She was watching over you, gently pulling all the strings behind the surface to get you safely to this point of awakening.

Don't be depressed that you have run off course. The reality that you perceive reflects your belief set back to you. The whole universe acts just like a mirror. When you approached the world with your split mind, the outcome had to be disappointing. Yet, once you let go of your agenda and follow the signs of the Tao, the entire universe belongs to you. Let Her bring the ship safely back to shore. Trust in the Tao and everything will be just fine.
