The spiritual life is the way of effortless effort, striving without attachment to the results. Do the work at hand with full concentration while your heart remains absorbed in divine remembrance.

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 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.

The undisciplined will is like a puppy that grows into a dog that destroys the house and the yard. If the same puppy is trained, it can even be a guide dog, providing great service to its owner. Surrender self will to the guidance of divine will.

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.
