Cultivate healthy environments that support you in remaining steadfast in your spiritual practice. Be willing to set limits around indulging in addictions or moods--either your own or participating in those of others.

Attachment leads to indulgence and the tamasic (destructive) energy that goes with it.

The devotee who is able to remain centered in Self-realization, who rests in the peace of the soul in meditation, is able to sense God's presence in the activities of daily life.

"Dana," or charitable giving, is an opportunity to change our consciousness from lack to abundance--from being separate and apart to being directly connected to the Source of all good.

The practice of giving opens the way to having enough by changing our consciousness from lack to abundance. People who believe they do not have enough to give, don't. People who realize they have enough to give, will always have enough. Through giving we open the door to the flow of abundance from the Source.

"Dana," or tithing, is very similar to establishing a meditation practice. We commit ourselves to giving on a regular basis because of who we are and our relationship to life. We do not give because we feel like giving. We give because we know we are not separate from the Source of all giving.
