It’s A Contstant Battle

Prakriti,

Overcoming distraction is what this practice is all about. You will be faced with distraction in your life and your practice. The challenge is in learning not to react to these distractions.

Sutra 1.12 tells us (Abhyasa Vairagyabhyam Tannirodhah.) To quiet the mind, both practice and non-reaction (to that which is disturbing you) are required.

As a wise man once said: “do your practice and all is coming”. Try not to let your mind get caught up in all of the inevitable perturbances it will encounter. And when that doesn’t work, practice some more.
