There is sometimes an expectation that the discovery of one's dharma, spiritual purpose or duty, will be glamorous or in some way more significant than life currently is. God is no more present in one place than another.

The soul's true nature as love is obscured by the sense of separation that selfish desire brings with it.

Body identification causes us to either over-discipline the physical component of our being in search of perfection or to indulge the senses and let the physical drive "have its way." A healthy, balance program of self-care ensues from the spiritual knowledge that reveals the body as the vehicle of the soul.

God is an open door, welcoming all who approach. Anyone may enter regardless of his or her religion, the name they call out at the doorway. Everyone must leave the baggage of self-will and self-importance at the door. Only those emptied of self cross the threshold.

When we are motivated to serve ourselves only we may succeed at our goal, but those who travel this road always end up alone and without love. There can be no other conclusion.
