TURNING IT OVER

Life gets so much easier when we give up control. It’s when we turn our problems over to the force that’s running things that we begin to feel what real power is. My great teacher Maharishi Mahesh Yogi says that to accomplish something, you make your desire known on the subtlest possible level, the level of Pure Consciousness, arrived at in deep meditation—and then you let it go…

The secret to turning things over or letting them go is that the power of Mother Nature organizes our wish and makes it happen. Obviously, Her power is infinitely greater than that of any individual. So it is harnessing that power that truly creates success and fulfills our desires.

Even if we’re not meditating, if we just "give it to God," we are heading in the direction Maharishi suggests. Either way, with meditation or not, when we turn things over to a Higher Power, help is there whenever we ask.
