Will can be useful when it is guided by soul-inspired wisdom. First, we use it to follow the inspired guidance of enlightened teachings; then we learn how to conform our will to divine will.

Every day, spiritual life presents a question: What should I rely on for happiness and security? We can choose the world with the material or emotional supports it promises, or we can choose Spirit—the invisible, infinite support. Spiritual insight reveals which is truly reliable.

Reliance on God is accomplished by continually turning the mind and heart toward divine remembrance and, in so doing, letting go of dependence on worldly supports. We cannot depend on both.

The use of a mantra, or prayer word, allows us to channel our energy toward our divine nature. When negative mind states arise such as anxiety, anger, or fear, we can use the energy of these emotions in a positive way by introducing the mantra into the mental field. The “fire” or energy of the emotion then becomes a transforming fire instead of a destructive fire.
