In spirituality it isn't effort that counts, but surrender.
When you fall into the water and don't know how to swim, you become frightened and say, "I must not drown, I must not drown," and begin to thrash about with arms and legs - and, in your anxiety, swallow more water and eventually drown.
If, however, you would let go of your thoughts and efforts and allow yourself to go down to the bottom, your body would come back to the surface on its own......That's spirituality.
