The “airplane route” to patience is to go directly to divine remembrance through devotion and meditation. The slower “footpath” is the cultivation of virtues. We can dwell in the higher true Self through divine remembrance, or we can work to reduce the self-serving motives of ego—either way is useful.

Trying to find security and happiness in outer conditions in life is like tying your raft to a log careening in the same rapids. Anchor the raft of your life on the rock of Self-realization.

Avoiding what we know is not useful for conscious living is a step toward grace. Grace has no requirements; it is universally and abundantly available. With self-discipline, we open ourselves to its influence.

Prayer for the workplace: “God be my day planner today. Help me remember that You call all the meetings and that all work is for your sake. When I see my co-workers, I will think only of You. I will put them first, offering my service to You. The workplace will be my practice hall today.”
