Duty is liberating

When the mind weighs heavy and life feels lifeless, turn to duty.

It is liberating.

Duty is like getting punched in the face reminding you to pay attention. It pulls you out of whatever abyss you dug for yourself and gets you back on track.

As you perform your duty, old skin is shed. You rewire your brain, and disorder is seen as fertile land, not a wasteland.

Duty is the medicine for feeling worthless. When you surrender to it, it dignifies your body, speech, and mind.

It shatters the so-called “world” you call reality. Duty feels cruel and harsh because it is. It doesn't care what you think or how you feel and that's a good thing. Often thoughts and feelings are deluded. They keep us in fantasy land until duty collapses all.

Duty is the lightning in the Tower tarot card. No one gets out alive. If you feel afraid when duty calls, know it's a good sign.

By submitting to duty, you instantly begin exercising Right Action. Silaparamita.

May you burn in the cleansing fires of duty.
