Important note: All the posts on this blog were written by Bob Harwood (AKA 'zendancer') on the forum spiritualteachers.proboards.com.

Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

There were two sisters, Martha and Mary.

Jesus came to visit in their home. Mary sat down and listened to Jesus in rapt attention. Martha worked in the kitchen preparing food while fuming to herself. Finally, Martha grew so envious, jealous, and angry at what she perceived as the unfairness of the situation that she came into the living room and said to Jesus, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all of the work by myself? Tell her to come and lend me a hand." Jesus looked at her and replied, "Martha, Martha, you are fretting and fussing about so many things; but ONLY ONE THING IS NECESSARY (my emphasis). The part that Mary has chosen is best; and it shall not be taken away from her."

This story answers every question that you asked. Those who are psychologically at-one with "what is" do not abide in the mind. They are present without knowing they are present. There is no gap for those who are free from thought. They simply do whatever they have to do.

Do you understand?
