The sages say it that suffering is a choice, yet suffering is inevitable for there there is much that we must let go of and unlearn before we understand how to ease ourselves out of suffering. It's all too easy to spiritually bypass suffering without realising it is an essential part of our reality that will grant us our spiritual and emotional freedom.

The secret to manifesting is about aligning with a greater force. It is not some force that we need to control and neither is it a force that controls us. It is not about making demands, and neither is it about surrendering ourselves completely.

To find the magical balance between deisre and longing we need to live the ancient practice of aparigraha.
