In the way of divine love, the mind turns toward God. Like a flower seeks the sun and opens in beauty before it, so the divine qualities of our true nature blossom forth through devotion.

Be active in the world but see to it that God occupies the throne of your heart and the court of your mind. As I work in the world I cultivate divine remembrance letting my heart and mind be purified with the light of surrendered devotion to God.

Choose a lifestyle that is consistent with your life goal. A conscious spiritual life is not possible without self-discipline, just as climbing a mountain is not possible without a commitment to the goal and persistent action in support of it.

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 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.
