With faith we understand that divine will is already accomplished. There is no struggle to accomplish. There is only the necessary work of showing up completely and removing whatever obstacles are there.

One who stands on the steady ground of faith in God is not driven by the reactions arising from likes and dislikes. The even-mindedness that comes from faith brings freedom.

In the beginning of sadhana, spiritual practice is random and intermittent. With dedication and perseverance, practice becomes steady; an integral part of each day. Through self-discipline and God's grace, one's life begins to turn to God completely. Like a pilgrim circling the Kaaba, Self-realization is the center of all one thinks, says, and does.

Release the false sense of self as the owner of things or the doer of actions. Realize that life is a play of consciousness in which the sense of separate self is an illusion. We exist as expressions of the one infinite field of divine consciousness.

In any moment, we can return to joy by moving from our head to our heart—from ego-centered thought (I, me, mine) to the deeper center of being. Practice divine communion and know God is your life.
