LAW OF THREE (10)



EFFORT (2)

Effort arises out of the resistance to a desire.  Unless there is an initial desire to climb a mountain, no effort will manifest.  No climber will start to climb

Desire-resistance-effort are in continuous conversation.  When the three forces come to an agreement, decision enters, and effort is given.

In dual consciousness, the Ego identifies himself as the 'doer' of all the actions.   "I am doing all this and all that.  If I do not make efforts nothing will get done."  From the perspective of non dual consciousness real effort is 'effortless effort.'  It starts with a conscious decision and it follows with the effortless unfolding of the action.  Those familiar with Advaita philosophy know that only Prakriti (Nature) acts.
