When there is desire for the fruit of action, the mind travels between the present moment and the imagined future. By trying to grasp future good fortune we stir up a dust storm in the mind and lose touch with the joy of the present moment.

The Divine Self is omnipresent, no less present within each one of us. Learn to redirect the urge to look outside of yourself for the solution to problems. Look first to the potential within. Then be receptive to the resources that flow into your life through the power of your consciousness.

When we are on friendly terms with our Self, we see goodness all around us. When we are at odds with our Self, being in the world is a constant struggle.

A person who has mastered himself or herself will have no problem with others. A sure sign of self-mastery is the ability to perceive others with an equal eye, recognizing God in all, the one Self playing all the roles.

Who is our friend? Who is our enemy? Most people have experienced that even the same person can play both roles. Who hasn't had a lover or a friend betray their trust? When this happens the good, admirable, likable qualities of that person seem to vanish overnight. Was this person the reason for our joy? Are they now the reason for our sorrow? Realize the true source of joy and be free.

Acceptance is the simple way to contentment. We open the door to true happiness when we stop trying to make others, circumstances, or the world conform to our desires.
