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.

Awe of God in creation leads to doing everything as worship—everything is for God, in God, and furthers the experience of divine communion. Meditation is no longer restricted to discrete periods of time in a seated pose; it becomes the conscious awareness of the omnipresence of God that fills the devotee’s heart day and night.

As a flower offered to the Lord may be a rose or a daisy, the devotee’s station in life, or particular duty, has no bearing. It is the quality of the heart within the action that matters.

The vision of oneness naturally leads to compassionate action and service of humanity because we see the pain and joy of others as our own. Just as we are instinctively inclined to care for our own body when it is injured, so one who is awake cannot resist caring for others.
