One who stands on the steady ground of faith in God is free from reactions arising from likes and dislikes. The even-mindedness that comes from faith brings freedom.

Our initial spiritual practice may be intermittent. With dedication and perseverance, practice becomes steady and an integral part of each day. Through self-discipline and God’s grace, one’s life begins to turn to God completely. Like a pilgrim circling the Kaaba, Self-realization is the center of all one thinks, says, and does.

Any time we come to our meditation practice for some reason—to find peace, get enlightened, or solve a problem—it is contrary to the true spirit of meditation. Such thoughts are about the future. Meditation is now—a radical return to unconditional joy.

We can return to joy at any moment by moving from our head to our heart—from ego-centered thought (I, me, mine) to the deeper center of being. Practice divine communion by remembering God is your life.

Faith is necessary. The spiritual way of life requires us to swim against the current of conformity. This conventional message says that material possessions, fame, and relationships will bring us happiness and security. We must seek another way. Break free from this illusion by believing it is possible.
