Tonic for the Mind - 27

Life is an act of listening. The quality of your life depends on the quality of your listening. In any given moment, you are either listening to the voice of fear (your ego), or the voice of love (your unconditioned Self). Fear always leads to more fear. Love always leads to more love. Learning to switch off the voice of fear is an art. What is unhelpful is to attack fear, resist fear, or defend against fear. One answer is simply to focus on love, and to value love more than fear. The more you value love, the less fear you will hear.
