Tend your spiritual life by weeding out self-limiting beliefs and non-useful behaviors. Set helpful boundaries around people or circumstances that deplete your energy or distract from your primary purpose. Include daily immersion in the life-giving waters of spiritual study and exposure to the soul's light in superconscious meditation. These are necessary practices to harvest a healthy, harmonious, happy life.

Our spiritual practice allows us to see with fresh eyes. Seeing clearly is seeing things and people as they are, not as we hope or think they should be.

A common error is to see through the filter of our memory and superimpose the past on the present. Removing that conceptual overlay is one of the goals of yoga practice. To be spiritually awake is to see things as they are, not as we are.
