Watch where the mind runs and bring it back. Repeatedly returning the mind to rest in the awareness of the presence of God, or the One Reality, saves us from the myriad distractions that can rob our energy and squander our time. Those intent on spiritual awakening remain focused on the goal.

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.
