When our life is out of balance--too much food, sleep, action, or inaction--the body and mind become occupied with attempting to regain equilibrium and the energy necessary to focus dynamically and achieve success is not available to us. Balance is essential.

Seek to possess God alone and free yourself from the endless urges of desire to possess everything enjoyable that is perceived. When a cloth is fully saturated it will not absorb any more. Be saturated with divine joy.

God is joy beyond joy--unconditional joy. This eternal joy is our lost treasure. It is hidden within the heart and awaits our discovery in this very moment.

Be an alchemist and transform all thoughts into thoughts of God, the One Reality. Then the dross of mundane ruminations, which dulls the mind, begins to shine forth as the golden joy of divine realization.

Change every thought to one thought--God. Think of God all the time. Be immersed in the light of divine remembrance.

Sorrow and desire are married. When desire leaves, sorrow cannot remain. We often cling to desire, thinking it will lead us to happiness, without realizing that it brings sorrow with it.

We are used to living by moving from the fulfillment of one desire to the next. It seems nearly impossible to imagine a life free from desire. But this is an excellent place to begin. Imagine what it would be like to be free of want, to live in the spontaneous flow of what is.
