Good point, Ranjeeta. However, what I’ve learned is that while we have no control over our past karmas, we do have a choice on how we react and respond to our present circumstances.

Diana,
Thank you for sharing the Psalm that guides you as you strive for balance. I love that you use meditation and inner awareness to hear when God is telling you to rest. Such a potent tool for progress and for peace. Pranam.

Yes, I know very well about trying to keep the balance between giving and feeling exhausted because of the giving. Sometimes this struggle is so subtle that it is hard to recognize that I struggle.

The struggle to keep that balance was made evident to me when I first heard Psalm 139
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am”. 139: 1-3

For me, meditation, constant awareness of my inner Self, is the tool I use to be able to know when God is telling me to “stop and rest”, maybe dare say no???? 🙂

Thank you. God Bless.
