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.”

One with an awakened heart remains rooted in the unchanging truth that underlies all conditions and therefore is able to maintain equanimity in the face of change, whether pleasant or unpleasant.

There are differences in the talents and abilities that people possess but at the soul level, there is absolute equality. Everyone deserves the same respect; all are children of the one Father-Mother. Look through all appearances to the truth, and relate to others soul to soul.

When we see through the veil of differences to the unity of all life, there ensues a divine romance with God revealed in all creation. This brings such joy to the heart that praise naturally arises. As this conscious relationship is courted, the field of God reveals itself to the devotee as omnipresent and vibrant with supportive grace.
