Let nothing disturb you

That's why St. Teresa of Avila gave this instruction which sounds very simple, but if you are able to follow it can become the strength of our spiritual practice, which is, she said, let nothing disturb you. So simple. Let nothing disturb. This is what is very important. So when you are there, especially let nothing disturb you. Not wanting to stay, not wanting more, not wanting to celebrate, not asking is this it, not saying are we there yet, not claiming a certificate of anything because of that. So that becomes a practice for us because the push and pull will happen. The play, what we call maya is a set of things which happen which are meant to disturb us. Meant to disturb us sometimes in the guise of elevating us, yes this is so great, I am so great, I sat for 10 minutes, I sat for 10 hours, I sat, no you didn't, when the one that had the ability to do anything was kept aside, then the sitting in the holy place happen.
