Life is ready and willing to give us all that we need in this moment. When we let go of the past, this truth is abundantly revealed.

Doing sadhana is like carrying a lamp into the dark night of our unconscious life. It reveals what is already there. It’s easier to ignore the clutter of self-will and attachments that collect in our life if we do not bring the light to them. Once we see what is there, we can begin a new way of living.

Renunciation does not require renouncing the world or our duties in it. The abode of the true renunciate is the cave of the heart. Everything that is done with nonattachment and love for God in our hearts is renunciation.

Love for God is the antidote for the suffering that comes from attachment to things. Detaching from desires can be an austerity practiced with great effort and resolve, or it can happen effortlessly like the wave returning to the ocean.

Do not say you will begin to practice meditation tomorrow, or next week when you have finished some important work, or when more time is available. Everything depends on God. Begin now.

The nature of thought is to divide, to compare one thing against another. Love unifies. God is One and free of “other.” Therefore, God can never be known through thought. Only undivided love reveals God’s presence.
