The best thing you can do is not react to anything, but to act from your heart with love, compassion, peace, and let the chips fall where they may.
As you begin not to react to conditions, you find that your thoughts become weaker and weaker. Your mind, which is merely a bundle of thoughts, wants you to react. The greater the reaction, the stronger the mind. And the stronger the mind, the greater the maya. You get pulled into the game.
When you stop reacting, the mind doesn't like that. Therefore it will bring up all kinds of things. It'll show you all kinds of pictures, make you feel all kinds of negative conditions, so that you will want to react. You therefore have to watch yourself, pay attention to yourself, watch how you react to conditions, watch the nature of your mind.
