So far we have let the mind wander on its own. It did whatever it wanted to do and we followed it. It is very natural that it rebels when it needs to change its path. If we surrender at this point then we hand over the victory and accept the defeat. It is impossible to come out of this defeat. Mind will protest when it is made to accept a higher stage. Mind can produce hopelessness, confusion, discomfort and apathy at this time. This is the time to get away from the tendencies of the mind. It is difficult and hard to act differently even with equanimity and even handedness. In spite of this we can separate from the mind if we have the intense desire and aspiration for it.
