When we finally do cease to struggle, what is discovered is a depth that is unknown. Ceasing to struggle and the experience of that depth is most often perceived as inspiring and intensely meaningful, but far too demanding a state to live one's whole life in. One of the most shocking revelations that occurs in genuine spiritual practice is the discovery of how profound is our attachment to the known and how meager is our willingness to truly embrace the unknown. It is in that revelation that we see for ourselves that the very act of struggling, even if unpleasant, allows us to remain in territory that appears fundamentally safe and secure because it is known. If we are sincere in our desire to stop struggling, we have to become more and more interested in being attached to nothing whatsoever except the perfect attainment of freedom alone.
Freedom means peace, cessation, joy and bliss.
When we come to that point in our evolution as a human being where we finally are ready to stop struggling and are truly willing to embrace the unknown, then we will come to rest. Everything will change. Our entire inner world and our relationship to life as a whole will turn upside down simply because we are ready and willing to stop struggling forever. But there's more. If we're lucky, the peace that we have found through ceasing to struggle does not become yet another safe refuge, another fixed reference point.
