The flexibility that gets enhanced due
to intense patriotism is what enables a soldier-spy to offer enormous
resistance, in not yielding to torture, when captured by an enemy
country!
...
A candidate who offers resistance to
'additional' work is not preferred for recruitment by employers. That
is what they try to find out during a personal interview...
knowledge, skill, etc is already evidenced by paper-credentials....
But if an interviewer himself/herself lacks that flexibility, how can
they find out whether the candidate is going to be flexible or is
going to offer resistance?
...
Spiritual seekers are 'obliged' to shed
all sorts of resistance, if they hope to make 'any' progress at all
on the spiritual path..... The master, teacher, guide can only
create a situation, where the seeker can find it easier to drop
resistance.... or where a person is almost ready, and when nature
obliges to create the 'natural' situation, they evolve, and pave way
for a debate about the need of a Guru! (Some huge trees have
crevices, where dust settles into it over a period of time... some
bird drops a seed having eaten the fruit thereof, and the rain
provides the moisture, and that seed germinates!)...
....
Resistance... is a capability, when
we have only positive emotions within us...
Resistance .... is a barrier, a block,
when we have mostly negative emotions within us...
...
Aam aadmi oscillates between right
orientation, and wrong orientation, and thus finds that flexibility
to be a weakness at times, and that resistance to be a 'defense' at
times!

I felt fascinated when I *_observed_* that, ancients not only knew about 'resistance' of a mind too well( deep enough), but even sought to bypass it, to convey certain sensitive and subtle messages.
Look at this tradition : Garuda puranam is narrated only on 4th day after the death of a very close relative. It is prohibited on normal avrrage days. Reason : it is vulnerable to be laughed at, ridiculed, scoffed, mocked etc... Death of a close person, removes all kinds of resistance, stiffness, tendency to make fun of something, etc. people are very silent, sober, serene and pensive. Right time to drive home a subtle, sensitive concept 🤣.... With low resistance, acceptance deepens better 👍. Mind doesn't ask questions merely to become defensive, orto parry off the incoming thought😜
