When there is desire for the fruit of action, the mind travels between the present moment and the imagined future. By trying to grasp future good fortune we stir up a dust storm in the mind and lose touch with the joy of the present moment.

The Divine Self is omnipresent, no less present within each one of us. Learn to redirect the urge to look outside of yourself for the solution to problems. Look first to the potential within. Then be receptive to the resources that flow into your life through the power of your consciousness.

When we are on friendly terms with our Self, we see goodness all around us. When we are at odds with our Self, being in the world is a constant struggle.

Without initial discipline and the willingness to surrender self will to the divine will of the higher true Self, the undisciplined will is like a puppy that grows into a dog that destroys the house and the yard. If the same puppy is trained, it can even be a guide dog, providing great service to its owner.

A person who has mastered himself or herself will have no problem with others. A sure sign of self-mastery is the ability to perceive others with an equal eye, recognizing God in all, the one Self playing all the roles.

A devotee on the enlightenment path doesn't try to control, change, or convert others, but instead looks to see what adjustment is necessary in their own mind and consciousness to bring about harmony.
