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.

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.

The primary way we disengage from the domination of ego and the suffering it brings is to see it for what it is by increasing the light of awareness through daily Superconscious meditation.

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.

A devotee on the enlightenment path doesn't try to control, change, or convert others, but instead looks to see what adjustment is necessary in their own mind and consciousness to bring about harmony.

Who is our friend? Who is our enemy? Most people have experienced that even the same person can play both roles in our life. 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.
