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.

We are Supreme Consciousness Itself. We look for well-being, but we are well-being. We search for wholeness, but we are wholeness. We desire prosperity and security. We already are that. We pray for love. We are love itself.

Only ego tries to get rid of ego. Don't fall into the spiritual trap of working on yourself to become spiritual. Live in love, live in peace, and live in joy. That is all.
