Cutting off a particular train of thought is like cauterizing a vein; the energy must then seek another path. As dissipating thoughts are continuously “cauterized” through conscious discrimination, the energy of Self-realization grows. It is possible to have our thoughts immersed in God but only through the self-discipline of “cauterization.”

It is not only the worldly ego, the aspect of self that has no interest in spiritual matters, that is the enemy of the soul but also the “pseudo-spiritualized ego.” This is the ego that pretends to do spiritual work but on its own time frame, according to its own agenda, and without surrender.

Through serving God, or the highest good, we step into the stream of grace. With personal attachment to the results of our actions we step out of it, removing ourselves from the flow of guidance and inspiration continually available to the surrendered heart.

To pray wholeheartedly, pray without attachment to the outcome. Be completely willing to follow divine will. Refrain from wandering into forgetfulness and attachment to particular outcomes.

The feeling of overwhelm is more related to desire than it is to action. The same body can fight hard, kicking feet and thrashing arms to stay afloat in water or, relax and stay afloat effortlessly.
