You don't have to identify with the angry or fearful motions of the mind. Just as wind power can be harnessed, the wind of anger can be harnessed. Gandhi showed us how. The wind of greed can be harnessed, too. Francis of Assisi showed us how. . . . Anger, fear, and greed are all powerful forces that can help us, when transformed, to persevere on the spiritual journey. Once we have harnessed their power, they will push us forward rather than hold us back.
