Spiritual knowledge amassed from books is like building a house of cards; a little troublesome wind will overturn it. But knowledge gained through direct perception is eternal, unshakable. Seek God in the "book" of your heart through daily, divine meditation.

The key to freedom, security, and happiness is forged from the practice of letting go of self-will. Without that key, much of our energy is spent trying to get what we want, or avoid what we don't want. Imagine being free of all that. You are the locksmith.
