Weakness

To be free from one's own weaknesses means to be stable. When we think of our weaknesses as 'our' nature, we will not be able to overcome them. When there is the feeling of 'mine' there is a feeling of belonging, and naturally we feel a right to use that weakness. When we work with any weakness we will not be able to maintain stability. When we are confronted with our weakness, we need to develop the consciousness that "I am the master, this weakness is not mine and I don't come in the influence of that which I have taken on fromoutside". We need to understand that our nature is not that of weakness, but of strength. Practicing in this way enables us to remain stable in all circumstances
