Doing sadhana is like carrying a lamp into the dark night of our unconscious life. It reveals what is already there. It’s easier to ignore the clutter of self-will and attachments that collect in our life if we do not bring the light to them. When we see what is there, we can begin a new way of living.

Love for God is the antidote for the suffering that comes from attachment to things. Detaching from desires can be an austerity practiced with great effort and resolve, or it can happen effortlessly like the wave returning to the ocean.

The nature of thought is to divide, to compare one thing against another. Love unifies. God is One and free of “other.” Therefore, God can never be known through thought. Only undivided love reveals God’s presence.

The Self does not wake up or go to sleep, come into being or pass from existence. It only seems so from the vantage point of “I,” as the sun appears to the earth to rise and set, appear and disappear.

Choose the way that leads to increased awareness, enhanced life, and love. Our own aliveness, our deep abiding joy, can serve as the compass.
