Rushing

Question: I have been noticing that most of the time I am in a hurry or a rush. I realized that if I am not watchful, it is very easy to get caught up in that and feel unconscious. The other day I caught myself and stopped, asking myself ‘is there an invisible entity that is chasing me that I feel so rushed?’ I really stopped and took my time thereafter.

Sat: Thank you for sharing. Hurrying is the seed of thoughts- that is all it is, all we have to do is be conscious of it. Just being conscious of it brings it down already because we are not going with it unconsciously. In that moment of realizing that there is no reason to be anxious, everything calms down. I am sure everybody has experiences where when you do that, actually it is as if the time stretches. Or you get to the place that you thought you would be late for, or miss a meeting, etc. It seems like the whole bazaar calms down for you, which is the same as the mind.
