To live a God-inspired life is to remain open to guidance, to keep letting go of what we know so that our current understanding can be surpassed and we can live in the soul’s ever new joy.

Spiritual awakening changes the focal point of our lives from having to being. This is a radical reorientation, one that is essential to living a fulfilled life. Now is the time for this reorientation. Instead of thinking about what we want or need, let us examine who we are becoming.

The quickening of the soul brings us back to life; it raises us up and heals what is dead in us—in our personal lives, our institutions, and our communal life. It gives life to what is burned out and what has lost hope. Seek out the soul’s medicine for what ails you.

The spiritually dedicated life is one where we wrestle, like Jacob with the angel, to receive the blessing in all that is and bring it forth. We actively participate in our own destiny and that of our awakening world.

To meditate, use the mind itself to subdue the mind. This is done through intention, focus, and ultimately, surrender. Intend to commune with God, focus your attention on a single point, and surrender the sense of separation by letting go into the allness of God’s presence right where you are.

How easy it is to be fooled by the way of the world, putting our time and attention into that which will not last. Be clear about priorities; seek first that which brings lasting happiness, security, and peace. Paramahansa Yogananda counseled us to say to ourselves, “This can wait and that can wait, but my search for God cannot wait.”
