Self- and God-realization simplifies our life and helps us prioritize what truly matters. No matter how many ways we try to simplify this seemingly complex life, only recognizing our wholeness heals the tendency to keep adding more and more.

Discern what brings peace and lasting happiness and what leads to sorrow. Choose the “great way,” a life in balance, where the heart (our essence) and mind meet.

Love is the realization that the Creator and creation are not separate. Love is conscious participation in the Reality of God.

Most of us are careful about many things. Too many cares rob us of our peace and the soul’s joy. Could it be that to care for one thing—being ever aware of God—is the great secret?

If our spiritual way of life is not enjoyable, we lose contact with the soul’s joy. We cannot persevere without joy. Spiritual life is not a task or project; it is how we live. Why not live in joy?

Cultivate humility to be receptive to divine insight. We can ask ourselves (especially in the heat of the moment): Do I need to be right? Do I need to insist on being right?

Humility makes us nicer to know and easier to live with, but the spiritual role of humility is more significant. The spiritual function of humility is receptivity to divine support. We let go of trying so hard to be what we are not and be what we are, which is divine.
