Leave It to Your Subconscious (A Guide for the Mind, #35)


At times you may face obstacles

That cannot be solved no matter how hard you try

Or there may be paths that refuse to clear.You may strive on your own,

But you may become too self-reliant

Which will only give rise to further suffering.

What you seek forMay become a growing blaze

Of unquenchable thirst.



When you feel you cannot escape from your distress

Stop for a moment.

For in water, those who struggle will sink,

While those who are calm will float to the surface.


If you run out of solutions,

Leave it to the Great Power.

Ask for guidance

From your brother and sister souls in the Real World.

Under the name of the Great Buddha and guiding spirits,

Leave it to your own subconscious

To solve your life's problems.
