To practice resistance is to try to overcome by going against;
to practice non-resistance is to overcome by going above.
to practice non-resistance is to overcome by going above.
non-resistance leaves behind what it does not want
and proceeds serenely to employ its energy in creating what it does want.
The non-resisting mind does not antagonize the wrongs that are behind,
but proceeds in peace to realize the greater good that is before.
Non-resistance is forward movement,
while resistance is never anything but retrogression.
To resist is to continue to be small,
and he who is small cannot overcome those obstacles that seem to be great.
and he who is small cannot overcome those obstacles that seem to be great.
The attitude of non-resistance makes man a stronger individuality,
and he who becomes stronger will not remain in the hands of the weaker.
Resistance scatters and wastes energy;
non-resistance accumulates and constructively employs energy.
Therefore to practice the former is to remain weak,
while to practice the latter is to develop strength and power
in greater and greater measure.
