Resistance Breeds Persistence

Dennis Genpo Merzel, in his book “The Eye Never Sleeps: Striking to the Heart of Zen” says “We are afraid to lose our own individual identity, but the more we resist losing it the more we suffer. It is a very simple equation: resistance breeds persistence. The more we resist, the more we persist. So let it go!

“Don’t be like a monkey. Have you heard how they capture monkeys in India? First they take a coconut and hollow it out. Then they anchor down the bottom, cut a small opening in the top, and put something sweet inside. The monkey comes along, reaches in and grabs the sweet. Then the monkey tries to yank its hand out, but can’t without letting go of the sweet. Its hand is stuck and that monkey would rather lose its life than let go. Of course, the monkey doesn’t know it is losing its life. Like us, it is just hanging on to what it desires. It will become somebody’s monkey-brain soup only because it is unwilling to stop clinging.

“We hold on just as tightly to our identity, creating all kinds of suffering and conflict. Let it go! Just open your hand ...”

READING THIS GENERATED SOME QUESTIONS I NEEDED TO ASK MYSELF:

Am I clinging to any old ideas about how my life should be?

What desires (the sweet) are working against me?

Am I clinging to any one-sided perspectives? (Example: “My ideas are right and his ideas are wrong.”)

Can I stop clinging to my own self-concepts long enough to step into another person’s shoes?

Am I clinging to beliefs that no longer serve me?

Am I wearing any outdated social masks out of habit?
