In my Reese’s story, what was the most important step?

ACCEPTANCE is the magic.
Keep this beautiful sentence in mind all the time.
“Positive dynamic acceptance of the moment, as it was inevitable.”
Your desire to change something starts with acceptance.
Acceptance means no analysis of why it happened or how it happened, how much damage it has done to me, etc.
No emotional reactions attached to that situation either.
NO MIND.
In a state of no-mindness, tremendous energy arises, and it begins exploring all possible options for changing the situation.
That released energy is that of the infinite consciousness.
As soon as we stop wasting our energy on the mind, consciousness comes into action.
If the ego stands tall, God takes a back seat. You have to realize your helplessness within.
That’s why the saying says, “Durbal no bhagwan.”
The phrase “Durbal no bhagwan” (often in Gujarati: દુર્બળનો ભગવાન) translates to “God of the weak/powerless.”
It is a profound spiritual saying in Gujarati culture that conveys the idea of Divine Protection: God is the protector of the weak, poor, or helpless.
Support for the Vulnerable: When people have no other help or strength, they turn to the Divine (Bhagwan) for strength and justice.
Compassion: It is a reminder that the Divine acts as a pillar and waymaker for those who cannot help themselves.
When the mind realizes it is helpless, consciousness rises, giving you tremendous power to change the situation.
This power is hidden in Shunyata; we need to tap into it, not by claiming anything or begging for anything, but just by letting go of our ego and watching the transformation happening in our life.

 
Even on a spiritual path, you try hard and yet do not succeed, you feel helpless. You can’t think of anything else you can do; you feel restless and uncomfortable.
That’s when He appears.
He is like rain; rain fills only the empty ditches, not the mountains standing tall; it just runs off them.
Sincere, genuine mumuksha will take you there.
If you haven’t cried on the spiritual path, you have a long way to go.
