Conquer restlessness and laziness through determination. Just as a tiny magnifying glass can capture the sun’s energy and start a fire, so the intense focus of our will on the goal of God-realization burns through obstacles.

Nonattachment to results brings freedom from worry. This nonattachment is the opposite of not caring. We care deeply for what truly matters—the peace of mind that accompanies divine remembrance.

Nonattachment to results starts before we commence work. We begin with a pure intention, one that is free from the desire for personal gain. Then we act because it is the right thing to do while remaining free from grasping after an outcome.

Our destiny, or fate, need not determine our spiritual progress. It can serve as a stepping stone toward the goal of God-realization. Accept whatever comes today as an opportunity to awaken more fully to truth and to realize life’s inherent goodness.

Watch where your attention runs and bring it back. Repeatedly returning the mind to rest in the awareness of the divine Reality saves us from the myriad distractions that can rob our energy and squander our time. Those who are intent on spiritual awakening stay focused on the goal.
