Usually resistance and obedience are two quite different tendencies or activities of mind or functions of mind. But originally they are not different.

And you feel better to practice our way, because our practice is the expression of our resistance to the old way of life. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-05-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
