There are many ways to find God--through inner revelation of the True Self as a result of the steady practice of spiritual disciplines and meditation, through doing our work in the world with the mind immersed in God, or through offering all that we do to God and letting go of any attachment to the results.

Resist being pulled down by negative moods--being a martyr or victim--by practicing contentment each moment. The true practice of contentment requires that we remember who we are as divinity Itself.
