In the experience of true meditation, the mind yields from the fluctuation of intellectual activity to rest in its spiritual base--the pure, still, light of the Self. This resting in pure awareness harmonizes the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our being with the true Self. We are then naturally led to clear understanding and right action.

As we open ourselves to truth, as we cultivate the willingness to sit in the silence and wait upon the direct perception of the Self, we are lifted from identification with mind and body. We soar in the freedom of the Spirit and possibility opens up before us.

When we live in harmony with truth, peace prevails in mind and body. We are at ease in our own life, free from the struggle with doubt or anxiety. The spirit of Truth guides us.

Becoming a disciple is not something that we do in a moment. We may, in a grace-filled moment, say "yes" to dedicating our life to spiritual awakening but it is living the discipline, practicing one's sadhana everyday, that makes one a disciple.

Reason and will must be guided by the soul's light. Otherwise, they work together to justify that whatever the sense stimulated mind desires will bring happiness.

One who insists on following self-will to find happiness is like a person who drinks poison hoping for a cure. Letting go of self-will instantly enhances well-being.
