Practice & Detachment

Thought patterns are mastered through practice and detachment.

 In India they dye the cloth gold and then put it outside and expose it in the sun,  being out in the elements the cloth losses some of its color and so they bring it back inside and saturate the cloth in the gold dye again. Again the cloth is put out to dry and it loses some of its color but not as much as the first time, they repeat this process bringing the cloth in and saturating  the cloth in the gold dye and exposing  it to the elements until the cloth can withstand the elements and is bright with its  own color. Saturate and expose, go inside surrender saturate yourself, when you go outside into the world you will lose some of your gold then dip it again, saturate yourself.  With consistent practice you will see that the fruit of discipline is grace. Detachment takes practice through going inside with meditation surrender let go, repeat and in time you will see that you are gold.
