Spirit Over Personality

     There is a story of a little boy, who was taking one of your martial arts. …And he was about 8 years old, and he went to school and the other children decided to pick on him and make his life miserable and so forth and so on.

               Especially one boy in particular, he really picked on him a lot. And the little boy never made a response. He just went about his business and pretended as though the other child wasn't bothering him at all. Well, finally it came to the attention of the teachers that this little fellow was really having quite a tough time, but he never made mention of it. He never acted it out.

               So, the teacher called in the parent, and she came, and they asked the little boy, why he didn't respond to this other child beleaguering him so? And the little fellow said, ‘He chooses to make his life miserable, and I choose not to let his life come into my world!’ Now, there was wisdom in that, for he recognized that the child who was beleaguering him or trying to, was a very troubled person, very unhappy. And he chose not to let that unhappiness come into his world. And so, he didn't. He made no response.

               Know you how it has been said, ‘Resist not evil?’ Now that doesn't mean you allow evil to happen to you. What it means is, you let it go past you. Whenever you resist something, you are engaging it in battle. And the moment you engage it in battle, it enters your world. And the moment it enters your world, you are going to give it energy. By letting it just go by and not engaging in it, you are not taking it into your world and it's not going to affect you. That is what is meant by the Scriptures when it says, ‘Only with thine eye shall thou behold the reward of the wicked.’ Because... you will observe it happening, but it will not affect you. It will not come into your aura and become a part of your world. There are so many little simple things that you can do in your lives to make your lives wondrous indeed! And they are all simple things. It's a matter of learning to think with the spirit of you and not with the personality of you.”
