When you experience flow and act on your inner resources,
naturally, without thinking, you have achieved the highest level of "do only
what you love, love everything you do".
If this happens even once during your practice, don't forget it.
You can bring the sense of this experience into other situations. That will
help you break the illusion that you are small and inadequate. As you build from
one flow situation to another, you will feel your purpose grow in clarity and
strength.
What is flow? Csikszentmihalyi, a professor
of psychology at the University of Chicago, has spent more than twenty-five
years systematically studying the components of similar peak experiences in tens
of thousands of people around the world, ranging from mountain climbers to
painters to business executives to chess players. He coined the term flow to
describe an optimal state of inner harmony in which one’s “thoughts, intentions,
feelings and all the senses are focused on the same goal.” For more, read
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's books "Flow" and "Finding Flow".
