Day 19

Holding Without Being Bound

By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

BG 9.4

The divine holds the whole universe without clinging to it — the way empty space holds everything inside it without being touched by any of it. You can practice this in small ways: can you care deeply about something without your peace of mind hanging entirely on how it turns out?

Reflection

Is there something in your life you are holding so tightly that it is holding you?

Today's Practice

Choose something you care about but are anxious about. Practice caring about it fully while releasing the compulsive checking.
