NONANTICIPATION

Put forth your effort
With no thought of gain.


One should not pray or meditate with any thought of gain. Hold no
expectations. Then the rewards will come. If one strives for power and
gifts, no true results will come, and one will become lost in lust.
Praying for results brings no results -- the true spirit appears only
when there are no expectations to hamper it.

Books and teachings talk of the results of meditation because they
prepare the aspirant for the experiences that will occur. It is
important not to look on these writings as advertisements. They are
merely descriptions of what you will encounter.

Sit down with no thought of results and you will go naturally and
spontaneously with Tao. It is admittedly a paradox. We are to know what
to expect, and yet we should allow them to appear as they will. It seems
irrational and inefficient. Yet if you would know Tao, there is no
faster way to enter the midstream.
